Introduction to Vertical Sleeve Talk by N. Miles



Recommended Posts

I would just like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Mrs. Miles, I am 42 years old and I weigh 280lbs at 5foot 2inches and my highest weight has been 298. I am schedule for the Sleeve surgery on 1/26/11 at 9:30am. I am excited and I am currently on day 5 of my pre-op diet. I have done great and give all my glory to God who is giving me another chance and new start to be a healthier me! Sometimes I think about how others are going to view the smaller me because I have been plus size since birth! But, I won't know until I do it. I am married and have four sons and I am already cooking healthier meals for everyone and no one has eaten McDonalds in a week that I have bought, which feels different. I also noticed that when I was going out to eat, I was just used to spending money. Well my husband said, just save it for new clothes you will have to purchase. LOL! I can't imagine that it was about a year ago that I started praying and started this journey with the doctors, dieticians ect... I just wanted to say hello to everyone and look forward to chatting in the future.

      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.
