October sleevers?

[paramedic 56]

Tomorrow it is for me! Scared, still undecided. All I am scared of the pains. I have read that everyone has horrible gas pains and I am very worried about the post op recovery. My mind is still playing tricks with me and saying I do not need it. I try to convince myself that if I had to loose weight I would have lost it since February as I have been very diligent in exercising and keeping a track of what I eat. But no such thing happened. I have been able to lose only 15 pounds since I started this process. I have been on full liquids since Wednesday October 12th and believe me even I am shocked that I have not lost any weight. So maybe it is God telling me that it is time. I don't know I'm very confused and scared. Prayers will be appreciated.

@@paramedic thanks for the tip! Do you put the Protein Powder in before or after microwaving? I haven't put Protein in it bc I heard it gets weird when it's heated up. I did get some plain kefir and put some of that in instead of milk with a touch of cinnamon and honey and it was slamming (lol never thought I would put cream of wheat and slamming in the same sentence [emoji16]) I figured the kefir would bump up the protein a little more.

Always after you cook and let it cool to below 140.... I just made a killer smoothie- I never had them or like them - ok try this - 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of 1% milk, small can crushed pineapple, 1/2 banana a few ice cubes.... out in blender. Then add a scoop of vanilla protein. Blend quickly and add 2 Splenda packs - eat and wow killer

Two days post op and I'm feeling pretty great. Some soreness yesterday on two of the incision sites but I really didn't even feel the others. If you are about to get this done don't be scared it is not bad at all! The pain is so manageable! I'm very excited to be on the losers bench

I found out Monday that I was approved by insurance to have the sleeve!!! Tuesday, I found out that I will be having surgery on HALLOWEEN!!!! Today, I went to the hospital for my pre-op appointment and sign a bunch of paperwork.......now.......the wait begins!! 12 days and counting! This coming Monday on the 24th I will start my pre surgery diet of nothing but Clear liquids for a week. This is the part I am the most nervous about, but I know I can make it through. Keep your eye on the prize.....right? lol Its been a long but short 6 months of working towards this goal and soon I will get to make a new goal. I hope to lose maybe 10 lbs before I go in for surgery. 12 days.....just 12 days......

I have 7 more day till my surgery 10/26! I'm still in disbelieve because I had two cancellation a week before surgery. I guess it will all hit the day of.

What Vitamins are you all taking?

At the hospital they were giving me like gas drops for infants from the beginning and I really didnt have a whole lot of gas pain, Maybe try and see if that helps?
