Hi...I am still pre op but the NUT I met with really stressed protein....and when eating, eat protien first, then veggies, then whole grain (if room)..but stressed the hight protien in the diet. Good luck, I am sure it will turn around soon

Do any other pre sleevies feel like things move slow to get thru the process. I had my first stop class one week ago and have been waiting for the call to have my psych appointment......no call yet. I have a three week periodoff of work starting at the end of November and I am really hoping that everything will be in place by then. Please give me patience!

Good luck to you. I am pre surgery and wondering how much time I need to take off before returning to work. I am an RN in a hospital setting and there is no light duty at my job. Any suggestions?

Good luck in your journey. I am still pre surgery. Getting thru step by step...waitin for my psych appointment then all we be submitted to my insurance for approval. This site has been a great source of support and information. Good luck!

I attended my first step class this week and am one step closer! My next step is my psych appointment which I am patiently waiting for a call to schedule! I did learn a lot of good useful information at the class....a lot more detail about what is to come and what to expect...including diet, protein and fluids.

Here I go!! Finally getting to learn a few things. I started this process the end of May, going to my first informational meeting. After having a month delay in getting started doing anything (because of switching insurances) I am finally getting thru my pre op steps. Tonight I have my "First Step " class to go over more details and learn about all the particulars of surgery and life after. I read on this site every few days and get so much encouragement from everyone. I am only one step away from having my case sent off to insurance to get final approval. I have started to change my eating habits and excercise. I am sooooo ready to get moving! Yea!!! Lets go!

Thanks so much for posting this question. I am looking at a November date so i am still a ways out but have had the same concerns. I look forward to the day that food does not rule my life. Thanks so much for all the great posts!

Sorry to hear about your illness....I also recommend a pneumonia shot, yearly flu shots and lots and lots of deep breathing exercises and coughing to clear out the passages.. Good luck!

So excited for you!

Sooo happy for you. Thanks for sharing....i still am a few months out for surgery but love to read blogs like yours. Congrats!!

Good luck with rest of the liquid diet. I am still about three months away from surgery and am going thru the process. How long is the liquid diet? I am having my surgery the week after Thanksgiving and knowing that I will be on a liquid diet the is not bothering me at all. Any suggestions?

Hi Melissa....I am also waiting for surgery and finishing going thru the pre process. I can relate with your nervousness....and excitment. Good luck..heres to our feeling better soon!

Thanks for sharing your positives. I had originally planned on having lap band and after talking to my surgeon have decided to go with the sleeve. I im still about three months away from surgery but trying to read as much as I can about it. I can't wait till after. Any suggestions???
