I'm halfway done with all of my appointments and super nervous. Mostly about the approval. Other than that, just excited to be so close to changing my life! What's your date??? How are you feeling about it???

Hopefully they won't make you wait too long. Are you still on a liquid diet in the mean time?

Seems like so much longer than a week and 3 days. I'm on full liquids until the 21st and I am tasting those mashed potatoes and baked fish that I'll be able to have in my dreams! At first I was experiencing quite a bit of hunger (or so I thought) but after remembering to take my antacid every day, most of that went away. Now I'm just focusing on getting my protein in. Looking for a small unflavored protein powder to experiment with. I know I'll be able to get a lot more in if I can mix it in the soups that I eat.

Wow. My surgeon repaired my hiatal hernia during the surgery. When are they saying they will complete the sleeve?

I literally just posted on another thread about being hungry. I'm only one week out. Going to the Dr. today to see what he thinks about this hunger.

I have my 1 week post op appointment later today. Thankfully! I'm hungry and don't really feel all the restriction other ppl have talked about. Doing well with my diet though. Happy to be on full liquids, which includes cream soups so hopefully the doctor will tell me the rest of this is normal.

i am taking it now. Helps a little.

Good to know its not just me then. I was spitting up right after the procedure but have not vomited since. The pain makes me not want to drink anything even though I'm super thirsty

I was sleeved just yesterday! Got home a couple of hours ago. Trying to figure out my new stomach. Everything I intake hurts so far. No matter how little or slow I go.

This is our month, Ladies & Gents!!! Keep us updated on your progress pleaaaaaaaaaaase Good luck everyone xOXo

Yikes. That definitely sounds frustrating. I am hoping it doesn't happen again! I'm happy to have met all of you on here and look forward to going through this with all of you February sleevers!

Awww why was it postponed?

Good luck to the ladies changing their lives this week! Keep us posted!

Pre-admission testing tomorrow, endoscopy on Friday...surgery next Wednesday!!! Where are you guys at with your diets, etc.???

So, I still have a few appointments. I'm cutting it really close. But I did get some good news today. I was so anxious that I called my insurance company and turns out I got approved yesterday. That means I'm moving forward with my 2/7 date and I couldn't be happier. Now that that's out the way...what kind of protein water are you guys going to use? What will you be consuming post-op???

When do you begin your lq diet?

I'll be following!

So, I've been so anxious. Had some bad weather in Jersey a couple of my appointments were cancelled. Now I have to rush to fit everything in. So far, my date remains 2/7 and today I go for my ultrasound. Yesterday, the surgeons office submitted my paperwork for approval. It took like a week to get it submitted because the Nutritionist didn't send the right information. Anxiety is definitely creeping in. Right now I feel like, if things can go bad they will but I am a fighter and I want this soooo bad!

Yayyy! A week after me! We're almost there!

Ooooh you're a few days before me. Excited much?

Yes! I would love to be Sleeve Sisters! It's nice to have someone to go through life changing events with. I'm Ebonie and I'm Somerset, NJ.

Yaaaaaay! Your date is the day before mine! Nice! They'll be submitting my application for approval around January 11th. I'll be on pins and needles until I hear those magic words. I completed the psych. Just have the pulmonary and Gastro Dr's left. I know those will go fine.

I'm i Central Jersey and Dr. Sadek with Advanced Surigical Bariatric group is my guy. I really like them so far.
