Tomorrow is 3 weeks for me and the scale stopped moving. It makes me not want to eat the little bit that I have been.

They gave me three weeks off. I go back Sunday and had surgery on 5/28. I went to my surgeon today and asked for an extra week due to fatigue. My surgeon said no and I am really upset

Hey there. I am doing well. I am about 16 days Post Op. I haven't had any problems.....almost no pain within 2 days, Have been able to get everything down so far that I have tried. I agree about the "exercise" instructor. It was the same when I went. She showed us a few things with the resistance bands but that was it. Did you see the nutritionalist Kristen? That is who I had and I liked her. I only had to go once though and she basically went over the pre op diiet and post op diet. She also went over what I was eating because I had stated a low carb diet and gave me a little advice. If your on facebook there is a private facebook page for Dr Phams patients. If your interested in joining message me your e-mail address. Do you have to have a supervised diet first?

I see alot of people eat scrambled eggs on the puree stage. Do they have to be put in the blender or can we just chew the heck out of it? I don't start this stage until next week bt am trying to get prepared because to be honest I can't imagine blending meats and things! Seems icky! Also the Ricotta Bake that has been posted.....does that need to go into a blender once baked? Please put any recipes you enjoyed during this stage! Thanks in advance!

I am tomorrow also! On clear liquids today....i am so nervous I don't even care about the liquids. I also took by bowel cleanse....yuck....started working right away though!

I love the cherry and the fuzzy navel!

I am the same day with Dr Pham also! Has the hospital called to set up your pre op visit yet? Are you going for the class on the 12th?

Where are you getting it done? Cheektowaga... Near buffalo!I am having it done at St Joes with Dr Pham. How about you? Same here! I'm excited!! My mother is having bypass may 28th w him too. GOOD LUCK!! I will be there w her but my date is 6/11. Wow thats pretty neat! Maybe your mom and I will be roomies lol! Is she going on the 12th for her review class? That is the day of mine. I wish you both the best!

I sent a DM to be added to the May Sleevers facebook page but have not heard back or been added yet. If anyone else is a member that can add me you can search me on facebook under purpleangel1231@aol.com Thank you!

I am being Sleeved on May 28th. I will have my pre op visit to the hospital sometime the week of May 11th. What should I expect? Has anyone ever not been cleared after these tests? I am nervous they will find something!

I certainly wasn't expecting to be a May Sleever as I was expecting a June date but I am proud to join this group! My date is May 28th! I start the pre op diet on the 14th. My pre op diet is 2 shakes, 2 snacks off of a small list and 2 oz meat and a cup of veggies for dinner.

Anybody with Independent Health?

Hmmmm on my computer it does not show any graph....it shows a picture of a man and a woman? Anyone else?

How did it go?? It went even better then I could have asked for. They feel the sleeve is my best option like I do! I loved everyone at the office. The surgeon has a great personality and is so knowledgeable. I am hoping this process goes as smoothly and quickly as it seems like it will. I have an appt for my EDG next week! I have my psych appt the week after. I have my pre op exercise class scheduled. The only thing I need is my nutritionalist appt which I am waiting for a call back! And then I have my next appt with the surgeon on April 13th! They said If I have all the appointments and lab work done then they will submit right after for the insurance!
