Now officially less than a week away. My nerves are already working overtime. Yikes! I am ready to begin my journey to health.

Surgery later today-still awake at 1am' date=' have to get up at 5am to leave by 6am for 8am check in at Swedish (darn traffic!). Surgery is at 10:40am and my husband will be staying overnight in the hospital with me. I have been nervous at times, but my way of coping with things I don't like (dentist etc) is to put them off until I absolutely have to- which will mean when I have to put on that hospital gown. I take a page out of Scarlett O'Hara's playbook and say "I'll think about that tomorrow". Working so far! Skin feels dry from that darned hospital soap- sensitive skin. More later! Good luck all you July 2nd folks![/quote']

Happy Sleeve Day to you!

Keep us posted, all the best to you.

Okay, I'm getting ready to leave here in about an hour to go to the surgery center. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I was sleeved on the 1st at 8:00... They sent me home this evening because main pain level was down to a 5, I passed by swallow test, and I was able to keep 3 hours of liquids down. I had a three hour, MISERABLE ride home. Now pain is back at a 10 and the crushable painkillers are NOTHING like the IV stuff. :( Just took a shower and cried through the whole thing. The gas hurts, I can't tell if the Gas X is helping. Mainly my stomach & incisions HURT! I feel like they are going to rip out. Enormous amounts of pressure.

      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.
