I have heard this before, but without exception all that I've shared this process with have been supportive. Just my two cents here but anyone who isn't supportive, may not be a very good friend for you during this change. When/If I find someone with that attitude, I'll note their attitude and move on (to better friends).

I was sleeved on July 16th and I found that first week, with recovery and the clear liquid diet to be (by FAR) the hardest part, so hang in there's it's about to get easier. I used Isopure as well and kind of had to force it down, but it's good Protein source. Once you get to the shakes, it's easier. hang in there!

yeah, let me echo VST Addict, the surgery was not as big a deal as I feared. I had mine on July 16th and was home after two nights, recovery, pain and getting used to the sleeve all easier than I imagined. You can do it, I've lost 35 lbs since my preop diet and back to work and feeling good. I've been videoing my experience - I find these helpful and watched many before my surgery. B
