    1st July Sleevers

    To calm myself down, I just remind myself of all the prep work I've done and to trust in the process. Best of luck to us all!

    Well, I'm officially on my way! I left home a few hours ago and am now in a hotel very close to the hospital. Bright and early tomorrow I start my pre-op appointments and then Tuesday is it! Wow, July 1st group, we're really close!

    Our scale just died, so we set a budget ($50) and went with the highest rates one at that price on Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think. Back to jury duty tomorrow. Not too excited about it, to be honest. Hope everyone is doing well! Kate

    Karla, Your boys are precious! I had a really great day! I finished my MS in Secondary Education in May and today I accepted a position teaching high school English! I'm just so excited! Of course, that made my day fly by! I also had jury duty and have to go back Wednesday to find out if I'm on a jury. Crazy day! I hope everyone is doing well. Kate

    Let's see...if I'd bought everything at once I would have needed 14 cups of yogurt, 14 sugar-free jellos, 7 low-fat cream of chicken Soups (which I dilute and strain), 14 packets of sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 4 1/2 gallon cartons of Mootopia skim milk and, of course, good old Protein powder for my shakes. I think that's it. Of course, we'll be eating the same stuff post-op, so it will not go to waste if you get extra. Good luck!

    Yes to the mood swings. Not fun! We hosted a World Cup party today and in spite of all of the delicious food in the house, I did not cheat even one little bit! A dear friend made me homemade broth for the party and it was delicious! Also, today was a lot easier than the previous days (mood swings not withstanding), so hopefully I've turned a corner. Jury duty tomorrow-ugh!
  9. Fit in an airplane seat. I love to travel and being 5'9" I know I'll never be truly comfortable in coach but actually fitting between the armrests would be awesome.

    AM I CRAZY!

    I look at it this way...staying obese has a long list of risks associated with it whereas WLS has a much, much shorter list of risks associated with it. You've got to decide for yourself where you are comfortable with the risks. For me, I'm more comfortable with the surgery than I am with staying obese. Best of luck to you.

    I've discovered the joy of "cream of" Soups. I had a cream of cheddar cheese last night and a cream of chicken tonight. What a difference a little dairy makes in feeling more full!

    Pre-Op day 3-HEADACHE day 3!

    Thank you for the info!

    1st July Sleevers

    Almost done with day three. I feel hungry and a bit discouraged. Hoping tomorrow or the next day will be better.
  14. Too many complications with the lap band and I did not want the malabsorption issues with the by-pass. So, a sleeve it is!

    Pre-Op day 3-HEADACHE day 3!

    I'm still drinking iced tea with caffeine. Are we not supposed to have caffeine at all?

    The only protein shakes I can tolerate are Syntrax Nectar so I'm all set sweet-tooth wise. I'm just plain old hungry! Drinking plenty of water, so that's good. Onward and upward!

    Mine starts today, too! July 1st cannot come fast enough!

    Day 4, SO hungry :(

    From everything I've read, it really does get better after day 4. You're doing great! Hang in there.

    I'm in Texas as well. I live in South Texas, wish I lived in Austin-what a great city! My date just got moved today from June 17 to July 1, so I am officially a July 2014 Sleeve member! I have to do a two week, pre-op, liquid diet. How about everyone else?
