Robin Weinrich 6 Posted October 14, 2016 Hello All! This is my first post here. I've been reading various posts around all the forum topics for about a month now and appreciate all the sharing. However, I'm feeling really overwhelmed by the number of posts/forums, etc. I would love it if someone could either direct me to a small group of some sort or stick with some folks over the next few months. My surgery is schedule for Nov 30 and will be the sleeve. While I'm well versed on so much of this process, I still need feedback and to hear from others. I know this is a necessary step to regain my health, but it does make me a little nervous. Thanks so much! Robin W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the right side of the screen under Recent Topics you will see a short list of topics recently posted. If something looks interesting you can read and reply. I'd be happy to be your buddy but I'm far behind you since I just started my pre-op appointments and won't likely have surgery until perhaps next summer. You could post something saying you're looking for those having surgery in November and then follow those people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App I start my pre op Monday and I'm allowed 3-4 Protein Shakes a day, pkus no fat broths, sugar free popsicles and Jello tea drinks. I plan on utilizing everything except Jello. I'm insulin dependent diabetics so they are concerned about hypo attacks but we have a plan in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
