Oh please do @@pippinleicester, it’s good to get a balanced idea as to what might happen before, during and after WLS :D

I'm still shocked to hear some of the Americans have surgery, be out hours later, then fly or drive home, sometimes both, taking hours and hours to get home. I know for a fact, I couldn't have done that in the first day :o

I went out this morning, had my nails done, went for a walk and a bit of shopping and feel tip top. Still full of gas though but in the scheme of things, that's a walk in the park.

Great to hear you are doing so well, as it is still very early days. I've created a Ticker for my signature to help speed things along a bit! I have a busy week with my family next week, followed by hospital appointments the following two weeks and then the Big Day. If my op goes half as well as my UK sleeve buddies I'll be very happy!

@@Soodoo You have nothing to fear although of course that is exactly what you do !! The surgeons have done this operation many times and it helped me to think that every time I got into my car to drive I was taking a much bigger risk. It just helped me keep it in perspective. You have a wonderful journey in front of you, where you are free from being under the lash to your appetite.My very best wishes to you Pippinleicester.

That's such a lovely message Pippinleicester - thanks so much! I can't wait to be where you are!

I found out this morning that a friend in Australia was sleeved four months ago. She's only told a small handful of people, so I'm looking forward to being able to chat to her soon. I've just seen a photo of her and it is unbelievable!

I think I've mainly been focussing on the actual operation and haven't really thought too much about how much weight I will lose, as any weight loss will be good.

Thanks again for your encouragement

      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.
