I am Oct. 22.

I'd anyone find it hard to break the habit of drinking with meals. I am trying this practice in anticipation of being sleeved Oct. 22. Maybe it will be easier when my stomach is really small.

Gear to see this thread. A couple of things that have been on my bucket list: Lose a. Minimum of 100 lbs. and keep it off. Go to a spa and not worry about the masseuse measuring my fat. Wear an expensive pair of heels (aka "****" shoes) Wear a knit dress and not worry about lumps and bumps. Maybe meet Prince Charming and have a marvelous love affair. And, most of all, live out the rest of my life healthy and without pills.

May you have God's surgical mercies!

Hi, I have Medicare and yes they are paying. They didn't approve paying for sleeves until Sept. 2012. Good luck.

Because there seems to be a great difference among sleevers regarding gas pains after surgery, I am wondering if there is any correlation between a longer term liquid or clear liquid pre op and the severity of gas pains. Are they more severe if the patient just had clear liquids for the day before surgery? Just wondering. Being sleeved October 22.

Best of luck today. Positive thoughts all around.

I also have leg cramps at night when I am in bed. I take the Hyland Leg Cramp pills each evening and haven't had them since. They are a homeopathic remedy.

I am using spaghetti squash in place of pasta and I love it!

How many ounces are your protein shakes? Most that I find are 11 oz. do you drink the whole thing at one time? I am not sleeved yet but am in practice eating mode.

There seems not too much activity in. This forum. Is it because there are not many mature sleevers?

No you will not need the .extra room! Remember when you didn't weigh what you way now and how you were comfortable in the airplane seat? Plus, seats are smaller than before. My sleeve is on Oct. 22. You brought up a great inspiration.

I'm like you. I can't wait until I can get tall boots over my calves!

Sw 266 CW 260 Surgery date 10-22-13 5 ft, 5 in. Dr. Suggested I get down to 140 with the sleeve.

This very interesting. Even though I weigh 266, my fingers are not too big. I wear a 7 ring.

Thanks. I'll clarify with my NUT.

If I am drinking two protein shakes per day, is this counted in the 64 oz. of liquid?
