All right people, this is it. My husband and I go in today. I slept surprisingly well last night and feel ready to face this. More worried about my husband being okay than about me, but that's for no good reason except that I love him dearly :)

I'm going into this feeling very good, except for a niggling doubt that this too, may not work for me. I've tried everything. I haven't even lost anything for the last 8-10 days on a liquid diet of 800 calories, so part of me thinks, I will be that freak of nature for whom this wont work. Again, probably illogical but that's my fear.

So asking my fellow sleeves for your thoughts and prayers for us, for a successful surgery, and a positive outcome afterwards.

Also want to thank everyone who has posted and educated me. I have learned so much from all of you, and feel grateful for all of you who have shared openly so that the rest of us can go into this journey better prepared than we would have been without you.

Good luck. Prayers said. This will work trust me I was in your shoes. I am almost two months out and lost 34 since surgery and 48 total. You got this girl. God is with you and He will get you through this.

Thank you all! We just met Dr. Alvarez and he was very charming :) The hospital is really nice. They gave us the big room so we could be together which was a nice gesture. Ready to have this done.

      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.
