My God haven't you been through enough? Go see you primary doc and see what he says? Prayers on your way....

I have had my ups and downs in the past 11 weeks post Sleeve. Never a regret, but a few illnesses n stalls... Leaving me frustrated! Well today I hit Onederland. I never thought I would ever see it again. No matter what diet I tried I never even got close. Thank you Sleeve and thanks to everyone's support!!!! I'm here????????

I am in. I have been on here for awhile and I don't even know how to friend someone. I will have to navigate this.

Awesome and welcome!

Yep, Dec 30 is my day as well.

I was thinking we could all friend each other and have our own group of people going through this surgery together. Would that be ok with all of you?

Amanda, I ordered the sample pack. Thanks for telling us about it. Its exciting and scary to have surgery so close. I bet the time will pass by quickly. Karen

Unjury will send you a sample pack for 30 bucks. It comes with two of each vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, unflavored, and chicken broth Protein and a shaker. Its how I found what I liked. They ship quick too and I always get a personal, hand-written "Thank you." Kind of a nice touch.

I went out today and bought all the Vitamins , gas x strips , Biotine mouth moisturizer for the hospital and premiere Protein Shakes from costco I agree with you the companies should send samples . I priced the Isopure Protein powders today in te Vitamin Shoppe they were $50.00 !! What if you don't like them ?

Wait for me, my date is December 29th too! I'm so excited I can barely stand it. I will be starting my liquids on Monday, 12/15 until my surgery date, God help me! LOL But I would love to buddy up too.

Great we can all go through it together !

Dec 29th/30th is going to be here before we know it. I started slowly buying liquid Vitamin for the early stages, stool softeners and I brought some books. I got the "Weight loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies". It helps with guidelines and recipes for various stages. A good read. I am still stuck on shakes? I wish Companies would send samples knowing we are having surgery. I have seen ideas throughout the forum.

Good luck to you. I hope for the best!

Anyone want to be my buddy? Now the reality is settling for me and to get real with stuff.

Even little time makes a world of difference <3

I'm thankful every day that I finally made the decision to have this surgery. I am down 13 lbs since being sleeved on 11/18/14, and if I only enjoyed the benefits I feel right now, I would be happy!
I can walk, dance, and stand for extended periods. I'm doing dishes and cleaning the house, which I haven't been able to do in two years. (Don't worry, I've had a housekeeper part time helping. I haven't been living in filth lol, but I've let her go now and see the housekeeping as part of my fitness regimen. My least favorite part, I may add.)
I've been out to eat, and ordered in twice as well, and I'm thrilled with the number of meals I get out of one dish ordered from a restaurant. I can eat anything so far, no problems with any food.< /p>
Four times I've overeaten or eaten too fast and paid the price of pain and nausea. The lesson is slowly being drummed into my thick skull and the bad habits, the addiction to food and its numbing qualities are getting tamed more and more each day.
I took one week off from work, and have been working at home for the last two weeks. This will be my final week at home, and I am actually looking forward to going back to the office. We have three holiday parties next week, and I'm simultaneously pissed that I have to pay for each of them considering the small amount of food I'll be eating, looking forward to eating tiny samplings, and worried that I haven't anything small enough and nice enough to wear.
Next week, on my one monthiversary, I will post pix.

Dec. 30th for me! I'll be your buddy

I miss my baths so bad! I stopped because I had trouble bending my knee to get out. I am hoping with substantial weight loss I'll be able to try again. Knee replacement is after this surgery. I just miss it so much with hot bubbly Water and my People magazine !

I'm ecstatic that I broke the 100lbs lost mark! Today I got to 101lbs lost. 47lbs PRE OP & 54lbs POST OP since 9/10/14.

That's great. ......I am only happy when I see the booth tables that move. The ones bolted to the floor is awful.

May you have a speedy recovery.

May you have a speedy recovery.

Good luck MJM! I wish you the best and fast recovery. Reality is really settling in... I am excited for the new chapter to begin!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to my Fabulous 50's ! Enjoy your day and get ready for the big holiday swing !

I, too, have a wonderful husband. You need someone to go through the good, the bad and ugly! More wishes to many more!!
