I'm still in the trying everything out phase, but today i had the Chike Banana and OMG it was amazing! I'll warn you though, it was thick even after adding 12 oz of fairlife milk....otherwise i also liked Syntrax nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. unjury was good too, but didn't sit well in my stomach. The only brands i haven't tried are Quest and isopure. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

At my work, my boss and HR said I did not need to give them any details or disclose anything beyond that i was having surgery. They were really going by the book and for that i was greatly thankful. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

Mine did. I never answered the calls, and refused to call them back. I have a doctor, several in fact, why would i talk to a nurse from the insurance company? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I did it! I got my sleeve this morning. I will say that the morning was rough due to all the gas pain. Not even morphine got rid if it!. But less than 8 hours later the pain is much better, due to walking and moving my arms.. I've walked the hall 4 times. And after a failed first attempt, i can keep down the ice chips! Im here overnight and can go home tomorrow if i can keep "breakfast" and "lunch" down. I had so many doubts, but right now I'm glad i did it, they've already taken me off Metformin, and i look forward to more NSVs! Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

Librarian Becky. I'm a librarian too, and I'm having my sleeve done Monday! My preop diet is 7 days, clear liquid only....it's been rough. But i keep thinking about the end goal. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon has a very strict clear liquid diet. No Protein shakes. For 1-2 weeks. I'm on day 4. And it's honestly tough, but i have not cheated. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

My pulmonologist said that for my CPAP i needed to call him when i lose 10% of my weight to be re-evaluated on the pressure settings. Could it be that you've lost enough to where your current setting is too high..causing you to open your mouth which is drying you out? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I am also having surgery on the 25th. I took off the rest of the week, but just found out the doctor wants to see me one week post op, so I'll probably take one more day. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

@@byebyebmi, I'm scheduled for the 25th too! Day two of my pre-op clear liquid diet and I'm hungry, but not starving. Just need to keep my mind busy. How are you doing?
