Starting to feel a little nervous as the big day approaches. I have never had any type of surgery before, so I don't know what to expect. Praying for a successful surgery and recovery as well as a smaller waist :D .

My surgery is scheduled for July 27. I'm both excited and anxious.

I am July 7 - started pre op diet today! SO nervous, but I have had the band. However, that was a long time ago and I had it out 4 years ago.

Hi everyone. I'd like to join the club. :-) I just got my surgery date of July 27th! I see there are a few other July 27th dates here as well. One month to go! I wondered if there were any other July sleevers who might want to be a sleeve buddy. I thought having some things in common might make our connection better.

So here is a little info about me:

I'm 42. I've yo yo dieted all my life. I believe I had some non specified eating disorders in the past.

My BMI is 40. I like being active and keep getting tastes of it with the yo yo dieting, only to eventually end up back in this prison of a body again. I'm happily married with 3 sons. I have been doing a lot of healing work since my breast cancer in 2013 and have improved so many areas of my life, but this weight tethering me down is something I need to fix. I'm ready! I live in NY and am having surgery in Sayre, PA on July 27. I'm scared of the negativity and judgment I'll receive from some people, so have only told my husband and best friend about the surgery so far. I would love to keep it private forever, but just don't know if that's possible. I'd love to chat with someone else who also struggles with that part of it.

      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.
