Hope all are recognition nicely that had surgery today. Happy Sleeve Day! to all of the July 11th sleeveless. Keep us posted.

All the best to the July 10th folks. Happy Sleeve Day to you!

I've been taking Biotin and zinc along with my Vitamins and supplements hoping to avoid any hair loss. My nails are growing like crazy so I hope this works. But the Protein is key. Try as hard as you can to get it in. I figured since I wear my hair short if I lose any I'll just get it cut shorter than usual LOL All the best to you!

Yesterday, July 8th started the first day of the liquid diet my doctor requested before surgery. Day one was not bad at all. I was so busy that I did not realize I had not eaten. Today is a different story. I had my breakfast shake and while riding to work on the train I had my crystal light. My mid-day consisted of another shake followed by another crystal light. I didn't feel bad at all. For lunch I ran to the doctors office to pick up my FMLA paperwork. Once I was back in the office at 1 pm I had another crystal light then half and hour later had another shake. At about 3pm my head is hurting. But I press on it wasn't bone crushing but a dull ache. I get home from work and have yet another shake. I am in the process of moving this week so for two hours I loaded and unloaded my car and worked up a good funky sweat. Lol. It was a good work out for sure. I need to take something for pain and I did make sure it was not aspirin or ibuprofen. Once I get showered, I plan to have another shake, the last one of the night, anything else will be crystal light. For tomorrow, I will be so busy with moving that I know I won't have time to focus on food or lack of food. But I have to maintain my strength so that means getting my shakes in. Well off to the shower I go, these old funky bones need it.

I'm on the floor laughing at this. Oh to be a kid again. Good thing there aren't any open flames around. Lol

Happy Sleeve Day to all those getting sleeved tomorrow!

I have my mind turned OFF! Lol. I too can't wait to hit the smaller size shops. For now second hand shops will be my friend until I stabilize.

Hope all went well today. Sending tons of sleeve love your way! Karen

Welcome! Happy Sleeve Day to you! How exciting just three days. I have two weeks to go. Keep us posted on your success.

How cool. Post pics when you can. Love looking at fashion forward sleevers.

Like that too.

I can't wait to shop at Macy's and use their coupons. That will be fun!

That's a great way to get it done.

I stopped drinking coffee three weeks ago. I've been doing so manning things in stages. Soda was my biggest. When I knew I was serious that was the first thing I gave up. It's been about a year since I had soda. I LOVE Pepsi and to give that up was hard. I found I only drink coffee at work. So I figure since I don't drink it on the weekends I could stop now. Lol Working around food would be hard I imagine, if you think about it select from the kids meal. Their choices are smaller in quantity and are better. Apple slices over fries, yogurt over milkshake, etc., but carry your food with you or make your Protein shakes and sip throughout the day. You'll do fine. We are all nervous but once we get over the pre surgery diet hump, the road to success is paved, we just need to walk the walk.
