HELLO JANUARY SLEEVERS!



Recommended Posts

Seems that there are many threads about January sleevers, but now we have a place to call home.

My surgery is January 20th. I'm having my band removed and sleeve at the same time. Currently talking my way through day 2 of this preop all liquid diet... help!

I'm scheduled for January 18. Just got my insurance approval yesterday. I'm a little luckier than most as my surgeon only requires a 1 week pre-op diet, which I will be starting on Monday. ????

Getting through day 5 of this liquid diet. Last time I did liquids for 2 weeks was post op when I got my band back in 09

Then I didnt care. I didnt want anything anyway. This is getting tough but I want less visceral fat and a good liver so they can do both procedures at once.

How is everyone doing?

I'm getting my sleeve on Monday and I'm so excited/completely freaking out! I'm only 25 and never been hospitalized for anything, never had an IV or catheter, never had anything worse than Vicodin for post wisdom tooth extraction.... And I'm a nurse! I've never been off this long, 3 weeks?! What the hell am I going to do?!!! I guess this will be a lot of firsts for me, but the best first will be my first pair of jeans that I can buy in a store that fit my belly, and my tiny legs! Who else is totally excited for some actual skinny jeans!!!????

Thanks! I'm doing pretty well actually. Have had the gas a bit still but it seems to be making it's way out alright. I've been a bit emotional today but think that's all a very early part of this journey. I hope you are doing well!

      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.
