Recommended Posts

I'm so excited!!! Today our loan went though for the surgery....AND I got hired at a school district here. What a double blessing!!! I'll have plenty of time to have my surgery and to recover from surgery before school starts Aug 4th! Miracles do happen!!!! I'll go tomorrow and pay the surgeon and get my date. I hope it will be very soon.

Thank you everyone. I really feel like all of this is surreal. I'm now obsessively researching post op sleevers and how to get through the first couple of weeks. That is my biggest fear. I'm afraid of chronic nausea and low energy level. My plan is drinking lots of fluids right out of the gate to avoid dehydration.

Right now I'm facing lots of big life changes and I hope I'm strong enough to handle them all. They are all good, but it is alot of changes in a short period of time.

I know if I don't do anything else, this surgery WILL be the best thing for me and my family.

And to all you veteran sleevers...be prepared to be bombarded with lots of questions from this newbie!

Take care everyone :D

What an incredible day for you and your family! Looking forward to hearing back from you about when you get a date. Those obstacles are minor if you look what you have accomplished already. Getting a loan and a job...WOW. Smiles for you.

So happy for you. I can't tell you how much this surgery changed my life. Size 20 to a 12 (so far).. Amazing

Be sure to get some sugar free popscicles. They were my life saver!!

Also get some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. The more you get the Protein in, the better you will feel.

Congratulations! So if bad things always happen in 3's does that mean that good things do to? Maybe time to go buy a lottery ticket.;)

      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.
