FrancesJ got a reaction from lauriev in New sleevers how are you doing
Like most of you I'm struggling with getting in enough Water, I was sleeved on the 7th (2 days post op). However there's a Protein product called Pro-Stat, I ordered mine on Amazon. A 1 oz medicine cap gives you 15 grams of protein. It's disgusting, I've tried both the vanilla & cherry so far. The upside is taking 4 medicine cup fulls gets you to your 60 grams of protein a day. The bottles are about $30 a each but worth the investment if you can tolerate the syrupy medicinal taste.

I wasn't expecting to have surgery until January, after my birthday on the 8th. I met with my case manager today and got my date. December 7. A month earlier than I planned. 3 weeks from yesterday. I'm excited and anxious now.

I start my pre-op diet this weekend, and since thanksgiving is right in the middle of it my family decided to move thanksgiving to last Saturday so I could enjoy it. That was a good enough last meal for me!

I am FINALLY having my surgery next Tuesday! (Yes, only one week away!) I've been on this journey for almost 9 months (started March 1st). The good thing is that I think I am physically (have lost 63 pounds pre-op) and mentally ready. This is a big deal and I want to embrace this. So happy to have each of you going on the journey with me.

Hello,

I'm scheduled for Dec 7th in NYC.
Haven't been approved yet, I have my final clearance with my pcp this coming Monday. I have a cough I've been trying to get rid of because my surgeon said we can't move forward if I'm coughing the day of. This is a very long and tedious process but I know it will be worth it! I had h pylori, recently my stool test came back negative. I don't need anymore obstacles going forward. Good luck to everyone!
