Anyone want to be my friend?! 2nd Sept D-Day.



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am nice (relatively), polite (often), house trained (definitely), sarcastic (a lot, but only in a third party observation kind of way and to people who deserve it) lady who is due to be eviscerated on the 2nd September.

I would like to meet.. No, hold on, that sounds like an introduction on a dating website.

I would very much like to make new friends who are embarking or have already embarked on this (and I hate to use the term, cause it sounds so 'Oprah'/'Dr. Phil') 'journey'. <gags just a little bit>

I'm a fairly cheerful sort, who normally has something to say for herself; hopefully pushing the boundaries of the routine discursive analytic. I also like to be incredibly childish in a grown-up sort of way and can often be observed taking things to their lowest common denominator...

I would very much welcome banter, chit chat, discussion and observations from people who kindly have the time and inclination.

If you can spell (the odd mistake is permissible - and yes, I'm joking. Sort of. ), don't have a grossly disillusioned sense of superiority (yeah, I've seen you guys out there and frankly, I cannot be arsed with it) and fancy some light-hearted banter with someone from across the pond about all things sleeve and more importantly (for balance) non sleeve, please do contact me!

I promise I'll be a good online friend and promise I have no desire to become a site megalomaniac. Living in the real world, an' all...

In anticipation of hopefully making some new buddies who I can annoy and pester for the contents of their minds on a weekly (probably daily) basis,

Revs x

Mmmm... You lost me at the word "journey" (that's part of my criteria of accepting a new sleeve buddy) too bad.

Oh, and I murder the English language when it comes to spelling, punctuation, etc. But, I would like to think I know a thing or two about being sleeved despite it. I'm out! :P

Aint that the truth! Far too much doom and gloom in this world (or do I mean 'room') already!

I had surgery Sept 3rd. How are you doing?

I ended up pushing mine back until I sort out a few domestic issues. To be honest, I'm having second thoughts. How are you feeling? How did it go?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
