Unbesleeveable

Glad to hear that you ladies are doing well after surgery. Please keep us informed on new discoveries ...

lol, I have not yet gotten to this point...but I sure have some references. Thank you, lol

I am starting to get restless about the date.....wishing when I wake up, it will be the day of surgery already...lol

WELCOME AND BEST WISHES ON YOUR JOURNEY

Do not let that be a deterrent to losing weight, as everyone has stated, it depends on a lot of factors other than elastin of your skin...I allowed that very thought to invade my mind for the 1st few months and I am not one who wants to have surgery to correct the skin(if it turns out to be bad) lol. Massaging, exercise, Water and wrapping are all a part of my fitness plan before and after surgery. Best wishes

I generally get them Walgreens, they are $7.99 for the 4 pack, but bogo 50% off

CON SLEEVE ULATIONS TO YOU AND BEST WISHES ON YOUR JOURNEY

Welcome, sorry to hear about you having to start the journey from square one...atleast you already know what is expected of you and how to really get the best out of this journey. I had a setback when the surgery was first suggested to me, but it made me that much more determined to take my life & choices seriously. Best wishes to you

Welcome, I too am new....sleeving is 2/27. I am looking forward to it

Sending my prayers and condolences to both you and your family(s)...While I know that it will be a journey yet for you to be ok emotionally, I hope that you are taking care to be ok physically.

BEST WISHES TO YOU AND CHEERS TO YOUR SUCCESSFUL SURGERY, PRAYING THAT ALL IS WELL AND WISHING YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY...MAKE ROOM FOR ME ON THE LOSERS BENCH

Praying for a successful surgery for you tomorrow. I thought about what could calm your fears a little bit before you go to sleep this evening...write a letter of goodbye to your former self. Outline the yrs that you have shared with the extra lbs up/downs etc. Allow yourself to walk through the manifestation of what tomorrow and the days ahead will bring for you. (just a suggestion) Keep us posted on your journey....Save room for me on the losers bench

PRAYING FOR YOUR SUCCESSFUL SURGERY TOMORROW..KEEP US POSTED

Have you tried the Premier protein shakes? they are 30g of protein

I do have a question as it seems that the posts in which I have been reading differ. Is there a requirement to have the shots(blood thinners to avoid clotting) post op? Congratulations on your sleeve, continued success on your journey

Excitability is the major emotion that I am feeling these days. 18 days to go and I am sure the closer it gets, the more emotionally charged I will feel.

I will be praying/thinking of you and the success of your surgery. Make room for me on the losers bench

Welcome Jenny, I too am new to this forum, I am having my VSG on 02/27/2014 (18 DAYS) ...I have my pre op and final consult with my surgeon on the 18th of this month. I had to do 5 lifestyle classes, EKG, Chest X-Ray, Psychological evaluation, nutrition consult and blood work prior to approval. I was submitted to insurance 12/16/2013 and received approval 12/19/2013! I have started taking necessary steps in order to assure my preparedness for my upcoming surgery. I have started to train myself to eat; Yoplait Greek 100 yogurt 12g of Protein, Isopure liquid Protein 40g protein and Premier Protein shakes 30g protein...I have the organic low sodium Vegetable & Chicken broths, sugar free Jell-O, popsicles & puddings, 2 oz cups, shakes, immersion blender, organic pureed baby foods(Earths Best) measuring cups, spoons, smaller portioned plates, 3oz bowls with lids for storing. Now I am just passing the days away, I do find that my mind is trying to play tricks on me and tell me that I need to eat even when I am not hungry. This was not an issue until last week, I was not required to do a liquid diet phase prior to surgery(except for the day before) BUT I am going to start one on Monday so that I will understand the dedication that it will take once I have surgery. Good luck to you and I will see you on the losers bench.

Good afternoon, I am new to the forum and scheduled for vsg on 2/27! Super excited for the day to come (18 & counting)
