Oh yea..Victoria's secret for sure! I also cant wait to wear high heels again..like 3-4 inch heels haha! I also have a horse (yes a real one) that I havent been able to ride for a while. I am really excited to be able to get back into a riding routine. Its great exercise for both of us! Lori

Hello, Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am getting my sleeve May 29th and getting excited. I was very nervous about the whole thing until I found this site. SO happy I found it! I love reading about everyones success stories. So..how is everyone doing so far who has had a sleeve done in May? We are nearing the end of the month and I am especially curious as to how those who had it in the beginning of May are doing? I am into my 2nd week of my liquid diet (yuck!) but its getting routine. Just ready for the surgery to be done! Lori

Prayers headed your way Aaron! Good luck today. You will do great Lori

Hi Michigan sleevers! My surgery date is coming up fast. I have been on my liquid diet for over a week now. Surgery is scheduled for May 29th. I am having it done at Hurley in Flint. I have Dr. Farhan. Scared but excited too. Im ready to make this commitment! Lori

Hi Elaina, What Katie said is straight out of the book I recieved from my pre-op class. My surgery is next Tuesday. Important that you take a Multivitamin and Vitamin D in the morning, calicum in the middle of day and then another multivitamin at night before bed. Concentrate on getting your protiens in first, then your veggies etc. I also agree you need to find some local support in your area, either with a support group or with a therapist. Good luck! Im sure you are going to do great! Lori

Been walking every day. I am down 9 lbs since last Monday. My goal is to get up and move as soon as I can and not stop. Might have to try that Muscle milk. Anything has to be better than what I have now. Im just worried that since I have a hard time now its gonna be really tough after. Right now I also have to have it super cold and thinned down. I hold my nose and chug it! I think since I will have to sip it after, that I also will use my blender and try it that way. Lori

I was afraid of that. I guess I will just have to keep trying different ones after the surgery. Thank you for the encouragement. Lori

So glad I found this site. Its the first I have heard of that. I imagine I will be here a lot! Lori

Hello, I am just into my 2nd week of the liquid diet. My surgery is one week from today. The hardest part is actually seeing food in front me. I am not hungry really. I am amazed at how well the protien shakes fill me up. I had to go to a bridal shower on Sunday. That was tough. I also work in a large office and they have had food put out every day since I started. I am being tested hehe. That being said, the time is going pretty fast. Im scared to death to have the surgery but I am ready to go. Lori

Hello, I am from Saginaw Mi. Getting my sleeve done May 29th at Hurley Bariatric in Flint Mi. I have Dr. Farhan. Getting nervous and excited too. I am on my 2nd week of the liquid diet (UGGH)I cant wait to find a different protien shake to use. The ones they have us taking are horrible. Any suggestions? Just thought I would introduce myself.
