Any March 2021 Sleeve Patients?

[ZZinBC 9]

I’ve stocked up on:

McCormick Bouillon cubes

Outcast foods Unflavoured Protein and other flavoured kinds

Vega Brand protein

Simply Delish Jel Desserts and pudding mixes

I’m vegan so if anyone is looking for plant based options there is a few 😊

Has anyone found a clear Protein Drink they like or can get down? I can’t stand stuff like Gatorade. Are there any that actually taste good?

March 18th

I was scheduled for March 4th but was rescheduled for attending my mom funeral on February 23rd. Covid. Probably better to give me more time to get the grieving under control.

I'm so sorry. Huge hugs to you.

I just ordered clear Protein Drinks from ideal fit. I have not tried them but a number of people suggested them and my friend who had WLS 4 months ago said she absolutely loves them. As soon as I get them, I can report back. She did say that she pre-mixes them because she likes to let them sit before drinking them otherwise they are a little bit gritty but after letting them sit for 20 minutes they are really good. I'm hoping they are as good as everyone is saying.

I picked up regular and Bone Broth from Trader Joes and some sugar free Jello cups from Walmart (generic). I also bought some bottled clear Protein (like a gatorade but with protein) on Amazon. I am going in in a little over an hour 😬 Good vibes and prayers to everyone on your procedures! xo

Sending you over all good vibes! So exciting!

I have pretty much the same thing except for the sweet potatoes are you more excited or nervous?

Does anyone feel like they are going to burst with anxiety / excitement / nerves - whatever this is? I am not till the 10th and yet today when I looked at my phone and saw March - I think reality hit. I have been having jitters all day - might also be from the liquid diet but I think it is looking at the calendar and seeing March!!!

These next 10 days are going to be hard.

I'm excited, not really nervous for surgery, I've had two C-sections, so surgery isn't new to me, but nervous about the what if's, but I need to do this for me, controlling my blood pressure with a pill is just not what I wanted, I have lost 40 pounds on my own, but it has taken 20 years and consumed so much of my life already, never thought I would go this route, so hoping it all works out for the better.

My last weigh in is tomorrow 3/3 surgery scheduled for the 24th once insurance approves [emoji1693]

I am scheduled for March 10 for VSG. Excited and anxious at the same time. Started the liquid diet yesterday but I feel very hungry all day. I hope this improves. Good luck to all.

I know!! I go in for my preop and COVID testing this afternoon where they're supposed to tell me my reporting time and surgery time - then I get a text message asking me to confirm my 7:30am appt for Wednesday!!!! Having a time makes it sooooo real!!! Freaking out on the inside. My husband, mother and oldest child are freaking out enough on the outside that I have to be the calm one.

Did my preop and Covid on Friday, mine is set for 2pm, I can't eat or drink starting midnight Tuesday and surgery is not until 2pm, that is going to suck.

[Hopefulin2021 244]

Did preop last Thursday and COVID test Saturday. I have to call tomorrow afternoon to see what time I have to check in, I am really hoping it is in the morning because I cannot take waiting around all day!
