I'm in St. Paul also. I had the sleeve done on 2/9

I am curious about the taste also. And how many carbs are in a bar?

It's definitely possible. I'd go get checked right away. I do know the day of surgery they take your blood and can tell if you have an infection. Then most likely it would be canceled. I got I kidney infection about 12 days before surgery was scheduled and they canceled that date.

I thought I was reading it wrong. I had a mini heart attack. Lol

After surgery the Premier Protein shakes have been a bit heavy and my stomach doesn't sit well with all the dairy. Well I found these GNC Total Lean Shakes so far I've tried shamrock cream and banana and they are amazing. The shamrock one seriously tastes like a shamrock shake. I love them!!

It looks like there is only 6 grams of carbs.

The silverware looks good. I actually just bought toddler silverware and bowls. I also use the tea plates rather than a normal sized plate. It's all worked well for me after surgery.

We have one very spoiled Golden Retriever. His name is Sam.

No regrets here. I was do worried about it pre op. But I am so happy that I got my sleeve.

I had surgery on 2/9 and I had a dent. It worried me when I first saw it. But it has gone away already.

My new surgery day is 2/9 I am looking for some surgery buddies with close dates. I am also wanting to find maybe a mentor some on who has already been through everything and can talk me off of the ledge so yo speak. Lol btw they did say ledge had chocolate up there in my defense [emoji12] Sorry having an isonmnia night :-( Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am making this tomorrow.

The group we created is on Facebook. I linked it earlier in this thread it is called Bariatric and Beyond 2018 so of you go on fb just search that name. The group is all Feb surgeries! On the plus side today I am experiencing eggs for the first time. I am going super slow but so far so good!!

So today I had my first NSV today! I was getting ready to go to the Drs and I just randomly grabbed some jeans. They were not my normal size they were a size down from that and they fit perfect even with a bit of room! I was so excited. So the bad was that I was putting on said jeans yo be tested for the flu. And of course I have the flu and am starting tamilu .one. day. all. The. Things. Will. go.right. I seriously want to hit the gym now. But I feel like I've been hit with a truck full of bricks. I want normalcy.lol Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I know of other clinics that don't require anything but clear the night before. Unfortunately though my clinic did a ten day liquid diet. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am a big fan of the tomato bisque. I cannot even think about chicken broth anymore without gagging! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

If you go on Pinterest you can find a recipe and make them yourself. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I cannot wait to be at the stage to try this! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

So I had surgery on 2/9 was on clears that week. Today I got moved to full liquid. Did any of you get creative and do any recipes. And at what stage can we do the ricotta bake? I have noticed my clinic prolongs our stages much longer than other clinics. Oh and last question which app is better for tracking myfitnesspal or baritastic?

That's great you are almost there! I was on clears for a week and now am on full liquids for two weeks. I had tomato bisque last night. This morning I had chocolate malt o meal. I'll admit when thinking about it I didn't think it would do anything for me. But after 1 tbsp I am Full! And that fullness is staying with me much longer than I thought it would. My kids are laughing at me with my baby spoons and baby bowls! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Well I finally made it. I had my surgery on 2/9. It went really well. I was discharged the next day. I've had some pain but it's nothing like I expected. I am very happy I got my sleeve!! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery on 2/9. Not in to much pain. I'm off the pain killers and just doing Tylenol. I am so happy I made the choice to have this surgery. I am still on clears until Friday. I can't wait to progress in my diet!! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am good. Tomorrow is the big day. I'm excited so sleeping is difficult. How are you? Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for posting. Mine is tomorrow and I am having some anxiety about it!

My doc pushes dairy. It drives me crazy. They tell me to drink milk when I am feeling hungry on the pre-op. Pfft my stomach does not agree with any dairy. Each dr is different I would check with yours.
