Well it's almost time for my sleeve. Ive been calm and excited since I started my journey but yesterday a post on this site almost mas my heart stop. I know this is a forum to help out with people's experiences and touching bad th what to expect. I appreciate everyone on here's opinion. I quickly messages two of my closest sleeve pals and they were quick to calm me down and tell me to ask my doctor before jumping to conclusions. I was really shaky and felt horrible for the day. This morning I woke up still shaky. I decided to go to the park and wall it off. I've kept Myself busy and has done the trick except thy the days are flying by. I haven't eaten much and I think it's still the nerves. I don't know how to move on from this. Any suggestions.

Well ... what was the post that almost made your heart stop? Kinda hard to talk you down from the ledge if we don't know which ledge you're on :)

This is a big step and one not to be taken lightly, for sure. You should be scared if your not scared ... a little.

It was a post about the sleep study. My pulmonologist offered it but didn't require it for me to be cleared by him. The post mentioned that we can die if we don't get it done. I know that there are always risks when having surgery but I saw my life flash before my eyes. I saw me going into the hospital and not coming out.

Hmmm ... There are always risks in surgery, but dying because of not having a sleep study done ... I feel pretty confident putting that at zero percent. The reason I can say this is you are intubated (A tube is stuck down your thoat, but don't worry, you're asleep) to keep you breathing throughout the procedure. You have an anesthesiologist right there monitoring everything including your oxygen levels.

You'll be fine.

Thank you. I just can't get it out of my head. Surgery is in Monday. I know this is what I need and want. Just can't get it off my mind.

      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.
