Hi all. I am being sleeved next Monday August 20th. What do you use to make your foods purée. I have a magic bullet. Is that enough? I hate Greek yogurt and really don't want to eat baby food. Also, what to you eat on full liquids besides protein shakes and yuke, yogurt.

Hi ChristeeeNYC. Based on your name, night you be from NYC. I will,be at Lenox Hill getting sleeved on 8/20. What about you? It's so so close I am starting to freak.

You are so right. I'm getting sleeved August 20. So soon! Lane Bryant, the Avenue, Mavys Women. I love to shop, even in those stores. Every summer, hubby and I go to the outlets as a date day. Not this year. This is the first summer I have no interest in clothes shopping. Took my 17 year old daughter clothes shopping and thinking that next year I might be table to shop at american eagle too. Cannot wait to find my own skinny style!

I'm from Queens. Getting sleeved on August 20 at Lenox Hill inManhattan. I thought surgeons had nuts and psychs as part of there practice. At least that was my experience. Good luck to you.

There was some blood work I needed to complete before insurance approval. My upper GI was required prior to my dr appointment one month before date My other bloods, urine, EKG and check x ray needed to be done within 2 weeks of my date (8/20/12). Always best to ask you doctor. There is usually a surgery coordinator that knows everything! Good luck.

This is excellent advise. Very clear "formula" for success. Mind if I write it down. I have a list of thing to live by on my iPhone.

I'm in Queens. Getting sleeved August 20th.

I'm also having my sleeve done on August 20th. 8:30am, so I'm right behind you on line lol. Two weeks from this Monday!! , I've been playing around with different Protein drinks, got a supply of a few different ones, not too many of each. They say that our tastes will change afterwards. When my kids were babies, we use to make chicken Soup and strain the life out of it so it would flow through a bottle. My mom did that for mee and froze 1-2 oz servings. Are you traveling far? If so, you'll need to pack I'm having mine close to home, NYC, so I just got a new bathrobe with pockets to hold my insulin pump in the hospital. Good luck sleeve sister! Join our group on Facebook. It's private and called "August sleevers, where ya's at, VST group".

Hi missjenny. I too am type 1. Having surgery on August 20. Are you on a pump? How did the hospital handle your diabetes. Where you able to self monitor? Sorry about all the questions. I was told to take off the pump before I leave for the hospital in the morning. So scared about that Nervous about adjusting my basals during liquid diet ( only 24 hours) and during the post op period. I know, monitor, monitor monitor. But ivealready have had more lows then normal just reducing my carbs. And when I drop, I raid the fridge before I come back to my senses. Well, that's it for now. Tanks for listening.
