February Sleevers

[gottalovemsv 2]

Im so happy to have found this site. My surgery is on the 15th. I'm happy, but a little nervous at the same time. every now and again I hear people I know ask me why, and I should just diet and excercise since I'm only 70 pounds overweight, but with my health issues, I figured i made the right decision.

@Tstorm

Maybe try a different drink? Slim fast contains a lot of sugar which could be contributing to your cravings. I'm on day 6 now and cravings arent so bad anymore.

That's what my Dr gave me..my only other option is carnation breakfast-no sugar added with 2% milk. I'm going to try carnations for a few days and see if that helps. Wish I could do something else lol

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 14. I start my liquid diet on the 7th. I am having the Lap Band removed' date=' then followed up by the sleeve. I only lost 30 lbs with the Lap Band and kept off 20 for 4 years.

I am very excited and have tons of support from family, friends and co-workers. The last two days though I have started worrying what if I fail this surgery too. Then the other side starts with what if I sag so bad I am disfigured and my husband doesn't want to look at me anymore. My husband just looked at me in disbelief that I could think that. This has not thwarted my excitement but I feel I have two little devils on my shoulders. I just have to believe it is just nerves and remember I am doing this for my health and I have been looking forward to this for so long. I know I will be ok. Just Breathe. LOL[/quote']

I am too afraid of all the things you listed! I guess I will have to deal with the skin at a later time. If it means I can walk without being in pain and just overall healthier...I'm for it (:

Hi everyone. I'm scheduled for WLS on 2/25 in Louisiana. My dr only requires 2 day pre-op but I'm doing a 10 day on my own. 2 shakes and sensible meal. I'm so excited. CW is 315. GW is 160

Our stats are about the same! I'm at 298 and we have the same surgery date! 10 years of research and thoughts, now it's 3 weeks away!!! Wow!

My sleeve is scheduled for Feb 11 in Alberta, Canada. I have been on a self-prescribed liquid diet since Monday (as my Dr doesn't require it, but said it would be a benefit). I have cheated a couple times, but overall it's been ok. Anyone else from Canada? I'm 35, 5'6 and 244lbs with a goal of 150lbs!

My surgery date is on Feb. 4th and have been on the pre op diet for 12 days. Just Protein Shakes, broth and sugar free Popsicles.The first 3-4 days were tough with headaches but drink lots of Water and they go away. The cravings as well. I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. getting a little nervous about the surgery and just want to get it done and focus on what's ahead.

I am scheduled for Feb 21st. Had my final appointment today where I learned everything there is to know about Vitamins and Protein. I cant wait to be able to do things that my friends do and not be physically un comfortable. Keeping that in my mind makes the fear of surgery go away. I learned to focus on the positive outcome vs my fear of surgery. So excited!!

I had my Nut appointment on Friday as well. Also met with the surgeon for my final appointment to be cleared before surgery.

Got a nice kudos for dropping about 30lbs since our last visit. Still hoping to get 10lbs more down before surgery.

Pre-op diet is fairly simple, went ahead and started today, giving myself a week to adjust and get a plan together.

Monday is my big day. I report in at 6am, surgery at 7:30, I pray this is the right decision for me. I started at 316ish and am now 294, I'd love to reach 290 by Monday but that's not going to happen.

If anyone is bored Monday, I'd love some prayers, good vibes, air high fives or anything else you can do for a successful surgery.

Bored I won't be but I will keep you in my prayers and sending you all kinds of good vibes for an uneventful surgery. Good Luck!!

Feb 11th! i am so excited! i leave a week from tomorrow!! Woot! ive got everything figured out except Protein. I just cannot stand that Isopure, or New Whey or Unjury omg the unjury unflavored is sooooo terrible. I tried it in Jello and it made me sick the way the smell of steamed cauliflower makes me sick. I really really hope I can get to creamed liquids quickly.

I just bought Isolyn Protein Powder by American Muscle in vanilla at a Max Muscle store and it it the best I've tried. They also make a banana flavored on that I've heard it awesome. I'm going to get that one soon so that I have variety. My surgery date is the 13th. It has 110 calories per scoop. You mix with 8oz Water (or milk if you want) it gives you 26 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbs. It is 100% hydrolyized whey protein isolate and it sweetened with stevia. There are only 3 ingredients in it. Protien natural flavor and stevia!
