anggeorge 12 Posted May 5, 2013 Hello all! My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 22nd and I am very nervous about getting sleeved. I'm nervous about the recovery, nervous about failing, nervous about the surgery itself. My surgeon's staff says it's the best decision I could have every made. Luckily, Aetna approved the surgery within 7 business days; lucky and not so lucky. I am incredibly anxious and unable to stop thinking about my future surgery. I already bought a heating pad and Gas X strips, and am searching for the perfect hospital clothes and stuffy (stuffed animal). I'm so preoccupied with my surgery that I am finding it difficult to focus on anything else. I also stocked up on my Protein drinks! Any guidance or advice would be most appreciated, meanwhile I will keep combing the forum. Have a splendid day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anggeorge 12 Posted May 5, 2013 oh yes, i remember the change in taste buds from before. I only drink the premier Protein shakes in vanilla and chocolate; 30 grams of Protein and one gram of sugar. I'm willing to give Gas X a try because there have been favorable reviews. I also already have baby spoons i use and tiny little bowls. many thanks for the advice...it's definitely a new adventure!
