Hi Everyone,

I'm having my Sleeve done on 1 April, and I'm looking for people who will be having surgery the same day. I want a group where we are all going through the same thing at the same time. Here we can talk about:

- Pre-Op To Do's

- Grocery List for After the surgery

- Vitamin Intake

- Concerns

- Post-Op Journey

- Success

- And anything that will help us with our journey.

I hope to meet some long lasting friends that understand our Struggle.

I am also going to be sleeved on April 1st. At this point all i can say is I can not wait, this 2 weeks of liquids is driving me crazy. My weight did not come from eating sweets, I am a bread and Pasta gal. All these sweet shakes, Jello and pudding .... yuk. I need something a little on the salty side, Any suggestions ????

I'm a bread and Pasta gal myself. And part of my weight is stress related. I'm not too sure of anything saltly. I didn't have to do 2 weeks of liquids. I actually start my liquids on Monday. I think I would of gone nuts if I had to do it for 2 weeks. Have you done any shopping yet?

Hello April 1st Sleevers

How is everyone doing????

Tomorrow is our first week Anniversary!

I feel great lots of challenges getting all Protein in!

Yet, in the big picture I am so pleased with my decision!

Today I finally hit my Pre-op day weight! GAINED 8 lbs

With all those fluids!!!! Scary! Now ready to watch

The scales start that downward movement!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Linda

I'm right in here with the two of you. I'm 4/2. Now that most of the pain is gone I am doing better at drinking my shakes and getting Water. I have done mostly water, but crystal light with some crunch ice is feeling like a blessed treat. I was walking/running before surgery and did a 5k the Sunday before surgery. I think the past 4 months of exercise has really helped me get up and get moving.

      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.
