So I totally let the excitement of seeing the surgeon on Thursday and just nearing the end of the pre-op process get the best of me. I've gained 3.2 lbs since my last weight check at home. I'm not discouraged just mad I allow myself to eat emotionally still. Grrrr.. Back to the grind today tho.. chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast here I come! Have a good day my sleeve friends!

Monnica :)

I'm right in your boat Patriotsfan. I had been doing really well but really messed up this wknd. Went to a birthday party and another get together and ate everything I shouldn't. The only thing I stayed away from was alcohol. I'm back to my French vanilla Protein Shake this morning.

It is hard, but I'm doing it. Can't wait to fill up on my chicken broth and natural applesauce! Oh Yum! Lol Which brand do you use for Protein Shakes? French vanilla sounds good! I only use the Syntrax Nectar sweets in chocolate, I can handle the strawberry, but the vanilla tasted like a cake batter and I couldn't get it down. I'd love to get creative but I'm really fussy. Ideas??

Right now I'm drinking generic slim fast shakes, mostly to make sure I'm at my starting weight when I see my surgeon for the last time on April 24th. I can look at food and gain weight!!

So do you have a surgery date yet or is that what the 24th visit with the surgeon is all about?

No. My insurance requires a 6mo supervised program. I'm finished May 7 so I will hopefully be approved a few days after and will be set for surgery the end of May. The surgeon won't give a date without insurance approval first. How about you?

Most definitely!! I'm loving the feeling of I'm not alone in this. It's great knowing other people are going in around the same time as me.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
