I've been shaking. No blending yet. I've been afraid that blending would be to thick. The numbness finally wore off this morning - makes me so thankful I had it those first few days after surgery. Now I can feel all the muscles in my stomach and man are they sore!

I've tried with skim milk, almond milk, and water so far. Several different flavors/brands. My tummy just can't take it - one or two tiny sips and I'm queasy.

I was sleeved on Tuesday. I turned a corner this afternoon and I'm finally feeling better! Now I just have to figure out how to get my protein in... My new tummy seems to be pretty picky about what it will tolerate... So far, the shakes are a no go

I'm checked in and waiting!

I see someone added me. Thanks! I couldn't copy and paste from my phone. My name is Megan . It looks like there are 4 of us tomorrow. Good luck, everyone!

June 3 for me - tomorrow! Eek!

Thanks for this! My surgery is tomorrow at 11:30 and I definitely have last minute jitters!

I'm getting my sleeve June 3! 2 more days!

I'm having my sleeve on June 3. I'm a terrible procrastinator which means I am totally unprepared! I was wondering if anyone could help me out with things I need to have at home when I'm released from the hospital? What were your preferences?!? Protein shakes? Vitamins? Foods? liquids? Medications? Other misc? Help me! I feel so unprepared!!!

I want a ticker! How do I set one up?!?

As I said before, my surgery is June 3. Wow! It's close and I'm nervous. I am 5'4" and currently 237 pounds. My goal weight is 130. I'm looking for a pen pal of sorts. Maybe someone to exchange emails with to help keep me sane through this process! Anyone interested?!?

I'm having my surgery 6/3 too!!!!

My surgeon told me that they would use my initial weight for insurance purposes - and that it wouldn't hurt if I lost weight before surgery.

Wow! 25lbs in 12 days is major encouragement! Great job!

I'm a 30 year old wife and mom of 3 kids(9,7,&4). With each pregnancy I gained a few (or 25) pounds. The weight stuck with me and now I am 5'4" and 237 lbs. I'm super nervous about the surgery itself and the recovery afterwards. Also, I haven't followed the pre-surgery diet like I should have! Any words of encouragement would be helpful!!!
