    Aunt Flo?

    So, I was sleeved on August 15th and she popped in town that Monday before my surgery so the 11th. I typically and right about every 30 days but the last 3 days I have had signs of her visiting when I wipe, but nothing on a pad, and it's earlier than should be. Anyone else experience a change in cycle and flow?
  5. I did chew gum and it kinda made me feel full, maybe the air you may swallow?
  6. Had my surgery August 15th by Dr. Kole in Troy MI. I went Friday the 22nd for my follow up and was down 11 lbs. I told him I felt great but need to chew something was given the ok for soft things on day 10 so today I am eating watermelon and having no issues. Last night I had some mashed potatoes and no issues!! Liking this so far! Meet with the dietician at Beaumont this Wednesday to get a game plan on changing my eating habits for good!!!

    Special K protein shakes

    I personally and not really a shake kinda person but I found I like the Isopure drinks over the Syntrax Nectars. They are liquid so none of the power sitting in the bottom or hard to mix without leaving foam on top. The blue raspberry is very similar to kool-aid in fact I've been adding water to kinda tame it down a bit. Poured over ice it's not bad.
  10. Just wondering, as I am on day 5 of liquids and only 2 more days to go and it is a little easier. But how the heck is my doc gonna know if my liver has shrunk or not??? He never x-rayed it or anything. I guess I am just worrying that something is going to go wrong and my dreams will be crushed come Friday!

    Last Meal

    I had almost the same thing! Filet, salad, redskins and yummy car billed rosemary rolls at Mr. Pauls. I am on day 5 of the liquids and I would do anything for a bite of that last wonderful meal!! Only 48 more hours and it will all be worth it!

    2 days left

    Congrats!! I am also being sleeved tomorrow but I was less fortunate than you, I had to do a week of liquids, raw veggies, sf jello, sf popsicles, non flavored applesauce and protein drinks. I AM STARVING!!! Best wishes tomorrow, let me know how it goes!
  13. I totally relate!! I was that way, obsessed with getting an actual surgery date. Getting upset that the surgeons office was taking so long for what I thought were simple things! But I am happy to say I am officially on my way, only 48 hrs and hopefully I will be in recovery!! My surgery is Friday morning, my surgeon only procedures in the AM so hopefully this time Friday I will be thru it all. Its hard to be patient when you just want to get onto the new chapter of your life!! Now I get to obsess over getting my car fixed as I was a victim of the Michigan floods!! Glad I won't need a car next week! Good luck with your journey!
  14. So a little concerned as I got a call from surgeons ofc today asking if I had EKG or chest X-Ray said no so being sent for both wed morning. Surgery is scheduled for Friday morning. If either come back with problems I will be devastated!!
