September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

Whoot!! Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow!!

Please check in and let us know how youre getting along! :confused1:

I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow and my surgery will at 9. I'm so excited, kind of hungry I'm on a full liquid diet and I just realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day so now I'm sipping on some Soup, lol. I can't wait to rock my sleeve to the fullest.

I want to thank you all for the support that you've given me over the last couple of months and the support that I'm sure you'll give me in the days, weeks and months to come.

The next time I post I will be sleeved.

I am new to this list, just made my appointment for surgery on the 16th. I have about 80# to lose (that is such a funny number to post. I haven't been at that weight since, maybe, middle school???). Can't quite believe it is possible yet, but I'm open to being surprised... And I'm a little nervous now. I have to travel (to Dr. Acevas) alone, as we have adopted a little girl who doesn't yet have a passport so can't go to Mexico. So my partner will be staying home with her. I know other people do it alone, but I wish it wasn't so.

Just got back from preop testing - so now the nerves are really kicking in - 2 more days of work - a long weekend and then I'm sleeved (hopefully) I'm still kinda nervous that my band will have its revenge and will be so F'd up that I'll wake up with nothing - I would be so devistated. Fingers crossed!

I am really getting excited now! 3 days on the liquid diet and today I actually felt more like my old self hehe laughing and silly. :001_smile: On a side note peppermint tea is a godsend. My stomach was rumbling like a mad thing until I had some. Just thought I would pass that on. September 13th is the date for my husband and I!! We are doing this together and I am so glad to have his support and vice versa. lol :eek:

Hello! I am scheduled for Sept. 20. I have 115lbs to lose. I have my final pre-op blood-work done on Sept. 7.... So if all goes well, I should be going in to hospital on scheduled surgery date.

I am 9/14 and petrified. I know logically that this is the right thing for me for all the reasons we are all aware of, but every now and then it hits me like a ton of bricks that I am willingly, electively and totally consciously going to LET HIM CUT MOST OF MY STOMACH OUT! It sounds so drastic, Why oh why has it come to this? Why can't I just get a grip? (rhetorical questions).

@ vandy123....I'm scheduled for the 14th also and I've been going through those same feelings. But then I remind myself of the bigger picture, which is, I need to be healthy!!! Congrats and Best wishes!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
