I'm going to close my eyes and imagine that this chocolate shake has golden arches on the cup.

Sorry, Curvy. I looked but couldn't find the recipes. Please post.

It's not stopping my weight loss. I drink it daily.

Yes, this is the important part. My nut called me today to see how I was doing with the liquids. She wanted to know exactly what I'm drinking and told me to drink 3 shakes a day. Also, I must get the vitamins. I'll look for them tomorrow. Hang in there, Sleeved. We can do this! It will be greater later!

You lost 22 pounds the first week? Wow!

Today is my first day on all liquids, and I do believe my stomach is touching my back! This is really going to be a challenge. I don't understand how some don't have to do the pre-op diet, some do one or two days, and I'm doing two weeks. I'm just going to keep my eyes on the prize. 4/15 is my surgery date, which is also tax day. So essentially, Uncle Sam will be in my pocket whilst Dr. Wooldridge is in my gut. Men are so greedy. I had a Protein shake for Breakfast, chicken broth, sf Jello and Water for lunch and drank water all day. I ran back and forth to the restroom so much that I thought of moving my desk there. When I got home I was so hungry I hurried and had a Protein Shake. I guess I'll have vegetable broth, Jello and more water and imagine that I'm at Olive Garden eating my fav Chicken and Gnocchi Soup. If anyone can add ideas to this diet, they'd certainly be appreciated.

Where are you? I have an elliptical that I haven't used in years, but I'm in New Orleans.

HIPPA laws! You don't have to tell them why or what only that you need medical leave and possibly present a note from the physician. That's all.

Incredibly encouraging! Please don't go too fast.

I'm scheduled for sx 4/15! I'm wondering if being sleeved has increased anyone's libido? I could use the help. Thanks in advance.

Actually, Ochsner goes though care credit first, then bank of Nevada makes payment arrangements for any left over. The best thing about the bank of Nevada is that It's ZERO interest on hospital balances. They pay the hospital off and you pay them back. You should call the bariatric financial counselor and inquire. I truely hope it works out for you. Believe me I understand this delima.

How did you make out with Dr. Wooldridge? Any issues?

I've chosen Ochsner. You should look into their program.

Have you started driving? Are you using pain meds? Do you have any weak spells? Thanks in advance! And yes, God's strength is amazing!

WOW! I'm praying to have the same results minus the hernia. So happy for you!

How long is it after gastric sleeve surgery until one can drive?

My information was submitted to UHC on 3/11, and surprisingly, surgery was approved on 3/12. I'm in shock but so thankful.
