I'm having the sleeve 4/11/16...very nervous at this point! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck to you all❤️ I hope your recovery is smooth and as pain free as possible!

I just got my appointment for my first consultation too! 12/22/15...an early Christmas present. I'm am so nervous. I get anxiety talking about my weight, and avoid it at all costs. I guess that is why I'm in the place I am in now, lol. Good luck with your appointment..what an awesome way to start the new year!

Thank you for your replies. I drink a lot of water and unsweetened ice tea. I didn't know there was an unflavored protein shake so I am going to look into that. I can't wait to get my appointments going and begin this journey : )

Hi everyone! I just started the process of having the sleeve done and have attended the first information seminar. I've been researching this for almost a year but kept making excuses when it came to committing to it. Now I'm completely onboard and so excited! My question is that I am very allergic to NutraSweet and highly sensitive to other artificial sweeteners. I suffer from migraines and if I accidentally eat something with it I get very sick with a migraine and vomiting. I wonder how I will be able to do the pre op diet since most drinks on the list are "Diet." The protein shakes after surgery are also full of these sweeteners. Is there anyone else who has these issues? I hope this won't stop me from being able to have this surgery.
