June sleeve buddies?

Where do you buy the Premier shakes?

I normally get mine from Wal-Mart. They are kinda pricey (@$7.80) but they are worth every penny because they taste so good! Start out with the strawberry & cream, that's the best flavor in my opinion!

I am really excited to see so many June 5 sleevers!! We have got this and we will succeed and be winners. I figure if we can all make it through the liquid diet phase we can make it through anything. Can we all keep each other encouraged? I am willing to participate.

I have a lot of family and friend support but sometimes I like getting on here and reading what others are dealing with or if I can give someone else support. I am so glad that my surgeon suggested this site. I have learned and found out that I am not the only one going through this.

I need all the support I can get - I have been having 2nd thoughts...

Why are you having second thoughts? Do you think that you are not mentally prepared for the changes we will have to make? I had a hard time at first, but I feel that will all of the reading I have been doing and slowly getting things that I will need has helped me tremendously. I will be more than happy to be your sleeve buddy if you think that will help. Please understand I am an older lady (Just turned 61), but I am one heck of a listener, I became a first time mom at the age if 53 and not to just one but 2 little ones, I never seem to do what others my age do. Yes, I am trying to make a funny but rest assured I will be here if you need me.

June 20.

Ten also, but I've been on one since April 29th! My original surgery date was May 9th but it didn't happened because my liver didn't shrink enough. My new date is June 7th. I'm so ready & so over chicken broth! My Protein Drinks keep me full so it's not that bad.

I'm terrified of going in and my liver didn't shrink enough so I'll have to reschedule, my original date was april 26th but the surgery was rescheduled for June 7th bc something came up and he wouldn't be in the office. If you don't mine my asking, did they start surgery and see they couldn't do it or by ultrasound or something?

My surgeon actually started surgery! It wasn't until he got the instruments in when he realized that he wasn't going to be able to complete the surgery. I was devastated! I didn't find out until I was taken back to my room. My advice would be to stay on your liquid diet and try to loose as much weight as you can.

Thank you so much! My pre op diet isn't al liquid, its Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, and then a Greek yogurt or Protein Bar for snack (twice a day) and then dinner is 6 ounces of meat, 1 cup cooked vegetables and 1/2 cup starch. So I'm on day 5 of my 2 weeks and I've already lost 6.6 pounds so I'm hoping it's working lol I'm terrified of that happening, bc I have had some slip ups to be honest. But I hope all goes well on surgery for you![emoji173]️
