rhoste 21 Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Curvy and HappyGirl! We will be sleeve triplets as I am also scheduled for the 14th. Where are you both having surgery? I hear you on the jitters part , thinking all day long and a bit of worry about two weeks of liquid pre-op diet. I am going with premier Protein ( easy to get ) and I am also allowed lots of green veggies to give me Fiber and nutrition. I can have wishbone salad spritzer on it. This week I have been detoxing off sugar and caffeine ....yikes I still have a headache I am all booked for flights and preparations are mostly done.... It's really starting to sink in about getting 80% of my stomach removed ... But the results on my two cousins that had it done are soooo awesome! Just hope I am able to achieve the success they have! Let's keep encouraging each other through the pre-op liquids ..... I hear it's so crucial ! 2 Mokamami and GoldnGirl6677 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 14th is such a special day for quite a bit of us I see lol. I guess we are quadruplets because CurvyGoddess is also on the 14tjh. This is so exciting and yes no doubt we will all stay in touch but not just through pre-op but through out our journey at least for the first year. This way we can share in the good times and not so good, see each other's progress, and just be rock stars together. I'm going to pm u my cell number. We are having surgery in Atlanta. I say we because CurvyGoddess is my daughter she's being sleeved at 10am and myself at noon ha! Initially I was like premier is so awesome then I bought a second box from Sam's and that box of shakes seemed thick for some reason. I prefer my shake a little watery so I just add Water to it. It still taste good to me but Chike is at the top of my list as my favorite shake. 2 Mokamami and GoldnGirl6677 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhoste 21 Posted March 26, 2014 Wow. ... Two curvies getting sleeved! That's so cool. What support you will be for each other. I think it will make your rough days so much more bearable. I am a Canadian opting for the Mexico experience. I am a failed Lapband conversion to sleeve and am so excited about the opportunity to finally "do this". My surgeons and Lapband placement were excellent, but I now believe ( as others on these forums have verified) that the Lapband was just a poor tool for most and did not work as advertised! I have learned so much about things like eating and chewing slowly, head hunger, and slider and high calorie drinks and junk food that can defeat ANY bariatric procedure! I hope to be active on this forum as well and support others as much as I can, as that was another thing I learned..... You can't do this alone!! Good luck to all reading this! Our lives are soon to change forever Ps I don't know how to PM, and am using the iPhone app....which doesn't seem to allow direct posts to people...?? 1 green*eyed*girl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ema-j 20 Posted March 26, 2014 Rhoste - you are so far ahed of the rest of us! Your knowledge will be invaluable to all of us. I'm canadian too. But I'm having my sleeve done in Edmonton on April 9th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries on the pm I will tell ya how to do it. I'm on iPhone app too. If u touch my profile picture it will take u to another screen. At the bottom of that screen u will see the the option to private message me. I'm going to send u one and when I do u will see a notification at the bottom of ur regular screen that u have a message. Touch that area and it will take u to my message. I we started this process seeking the lap band but the surgeon wasn't for it at all. She felt the success rate wasn't good and the amount of weight my daughter and I have to lose VSG is just a much better option. I was against VSG cuz it was more invasive but once I weighed everything out it I decided I agree with the surgeon and decided on the sleeve. This journey will have it's good days and not so good ones but we will all be here supporting each other every step if the way. That's very encouraging for me.

happygirlforlife 34 Posted March 26, 2014 This is so great to have so many of us going on the journey together. I tried doing the pm on my iPhone but for some reason it did not work.. Still trying to figure out this site.. I have tried the computer and the site looks totally different to me.. I think I need to start a list of all you girls so I know who to keep in touch with. ONce I figure it out .. I will also pm all with my cell phone and email as I think that may be easier to keep in touch with the "sleeve quintuplets.. "lol I will be in touch soon. Need to get back to work.. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
