Hi everyone! I wish everyone continuous success on their journeys! My Highest weight was 272.. on the day of surgery I was 248 and now I’m currently 195 [emoji813]️ I’ve lost 53lbs since surgery! I was a size 18 and now I wear a size 10 in pants and a large/xl in shirts.

Hello Sleevers! I just wanted to say hello and check in I haven’t posted since I was sleeved on 10/10. My highest weight was 272, My day of surgery weight was 248 and my current weight is 221. [emoji4] it has been very hard for me to tolerate protien drinks but I do well with drinking water and eating certain foods. I’m currently in stage 4 and will enter stage 5 on 12/10. I feel great, some days I feel like I look the same but we all have those moments when we are hard on ourselves. If you have any recommendations for flavorless protien please let me know currently my sleeve loves, flat out flat bread, sugar free peaches , watermelon, deli meat, fish and chicken. My sleeve does not like eggs [emoji25], milk, artificial sweeteners, yogurt. Peace, love, blessings!

I can eat watermelon strawberries and sugar free peaches and mixed fruit cups. I also used miralax because I was constipated and I’ve been pretty regular since.

Do you think it’s okay if I have creamed spinach while on my purée phase ?

Thank you!! And I was sleeved on 10/10 Starting weight 272 Surgery Weight 248 Current Wright 235 I wish you all the best on your journey!

I’m soooo excited! Tomorrow is the big day. I believe the pre op diet was the hardest part so far. For the individuals who are currently in the pre op diet phase stay focused!! I lost about 15 lbs since starting the pre op diet. I feel light and great. Another word of advice I can give is RELAX AND REST. [emoji173]️

I was also sleeved on 10/10 HW 272 CW 248 GW ?? I would have to say the gas pain is the worst, walking and moving around has helped. My stomach feels so heavy if that makes any sense. I stayed I. The hospital for 2 days but I feel like they were rushing me out. It was very hard for me to consume liquids and it still is. I’m baffled on how my nutritionists wants me to get almost 99-108 grams of protien in a day ... it feels impossible. Stay strong I hope you feel better.

Thank you and Remain strong. I was discharged on today and I feel a lot better than I did yesterday. I’m rooting for you! I would love to keep in touch

Everything went well just having a lot of nausea I should be going home tomorrow [emoji4]

Thank you everyone for your well wishes![emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

I believe you may be able to take Tylenol

I have a headache today and I’m unsure if I should take Tylenol? Also not sure if I can have sugar free mints. Any recommendations?

Thank you everyone I did take a Tylenol I feel better and I purchased sugar free throat drops.

I only have about 5 shakes to choose from according to my nutritionist and it looks like I'll be spending about $100 on shakes because I will have to drink 5 per day [emoji30]. I have chose glucerna hunger smart chocolate. Who else is preparing for pre op diet ?!

I ordered my shakes from Walmart for my liquid diet that starts on Monday! My shake choice was Glucerna not only because I’m diabetic but because they are very good! I spent about $130.00 for about 80 shakes. I have to drink 5 day and I can have a 1 serving of a fruit, vegetable and starch from a very TINY list my surgeon has given me. I’m definitely embracing the process and EXCITED for the changes that are about to come and the progress I’ve made so far. Thank you everyone for motivating me!!! Happy Sleeving!!

5 shakes a day 1 serving of fruit, veggie, starch daily I reside in Mass

Good luck to you too [emoji173]️

That's very nice of your doctor! And I agree it will be very hard for me too. I wish you all the best !!

4 weeks wow!! Congrats to you. Thank you for the motivation.

Yes I'm diabetic and I can only choose from the following shakes Ensure active high protein Atkins advantage shake Boost calorie smart Boost glucose control Carnation instant breakfast EAS myoplex Glucerna hunger smart

October 10th [emoji176]

Thank you Kathy!

It has now been a month and I haven't heard anything from my surgeons office. I was told by nutritionist that I should have been given a tentative date by now... she instructed me to call the scheduler on August 2nd I called and her voicemail said she would be out of the office until August 7th. Next month will make a year since I started the process. I've completed all of my task ... I understand if the surgery may have to be pushed out due to schedule conflicts but at least communicate something with me [emoji22] should I continue to call and leave voicemails? Of just wait?

I'm assuming the scheduler submits everything to the insurance she's on vacation until next Wednesday! [emoji849] however I'm so excited I'm getting close to the finish line!
