Sleeved July 10

Highest weight 276

Surgery day. 260

Current weight. 236

Feels like I'm losing slow, but apparently not. I'm on myfitnesspal as kathikennedy. I get about 600-700 calories a day, and today was the first day I have been over 55 grams of Protein. I haven't had any problems after the first couple weeks, when I was extremely tired and nauseas. I love my sleeve!!

Have you tried Prilosec? I thought I was starving! Someone said to try it and it really helps. I wasn't hungry, my tummy was upset. Lol

Congrats!!

My surgery is July 10. I'm on day 9 of liquid diet. Lost 13 pounds so far! Ordered my Vitamins from Bari-Life, going to buy my Isopure drinks today. I think I'm ready!!

Started the two week liquid diet pre op today. Sleeve scheduled for July 10 in Tulsa. Excited!!!

Found out today my date is July 10. Yay!!

Just got my date today!! July 10! Woot!!

I quit smoking cigs in November. I use an e-cig now. I call it my binky. Lol. I have all kinds of flavors, cherry, chocolate, black tea, etc...nicotine isn't what I miss, it's the "me time" I get, just sitting outside smoking... So

The e-cig is awesome!!

Battgirl... I am getting my sleeve done at St Johns also. Did you mean Dr. Arroyo? That's who

I am seeing. Did you like him? My last NUT appt is June 24. Then hopefully United Healthcare will hurry up and do their thing, and I can have my surgery in July. How are you doing? Happy?

I had to do the 6 months supervised diet. I have learned a lot! I was a bit upset that I had to do

it, as 6 months seemed like forever! But it's gone by quickly, and I have learned what to eat, and expect after surgery. That said, I haven't lost ANY weight during this time, but I haven't gained either. Lol! 2 more months to go! Good luck on your journey!

Wow!! What an inspiration!! Congratulations!!

Good luck!

I'm from Oklahoma, and I will have my sleeve sometime in July. I'm ready!

Where does one find out how much they are "supposed" to weigh?

My last NUT appt is end of June. I haven't heard anything about an endoscopy or sleep test. My insurance doesn't require them. So hopefully I will have surgery in July!

I had to wait 6 months because my insurance required a 6 month medically supervised diet. It's going by quickly, and I am using this time to learn more about the surgery, and lifestyle changes that I will have to make. That's a hard call to make tho...

Congrats lizy! Keep us posted!

Hi! Glad to finally find this thread! I'm in Tulsa, using St Johns, and am in the middle of my 6 month medically supervised diet. Should have surgery sometime in July or August. I

Thought it would take forever for the six months to go by, but its kinda flyin'! I'm so excited, nervous, scared, happy.... Lmao!!

I have UHC.... 6 months medically supervised diet is required. They only pay for 5 with a nutritionist. I am still trying to find out if they will pay for a TT after its over.
