I've always wanted a sister!

Hey, let me tell you! A sleeve sister is wayyyyyy more important than a biological sister! ;o))))

A sleeve sister 'gets it' and a biological sister is just jealous!

Wasa, you are right, I couldnt even tell my bio sister, she just couldnt take having me go through another surgery and I couldnt even start talking about Mexico, so no she didnt get it but my sleeve sisters definitely do. We are on here every day and on the phone.

Well my biological sister is 5'3 and wears maybe a size 10 ... of course when we were in HS she wore a size 1. So she definitely wouldn't get it.

Ruthi and Eyfura know what I went through -shared it with me and we do "talk" daily.

Everyone else on this site gets it too ... or will get it once they have their surgery. It's a GREAT extended family!

I've moved my surgery date from August 9 to July 10; three weeks from now!!! I decided to do this because Dr. A is having a deal for the month of July. $8750 instead of $9500.

Hi Rosey... I've got to ask who doctor A is. My surgery is set for July 2nd with doctor alverez and it's 9,500. Are you going to him or the other Dr A.

Thanks, Ron

I just figured it out and you're not going to Alverez.

My Sleeve Plication surgery is scheduled for July 12, 2010 at The Hospital Star Medica with Dr. Jose Rodriguez.

We might not be going the same set day or the same dr but it is pretty dang close so I would love to keep on touch with you while we both going through all these changes.

I start my pre-op diet today but mine isn't just shakes. I just have to stay with high protien items like eggs and meat but it is hard sometimes knowing what is in everything so I use these Breakfast shakes that taste pretty good. They are 9 grams of crabs instead of 6 grams but they work. Does anyone have a pre-op diet they like?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
