I'm not there yet, (surgery on 8/9), but I ordered a Protein Powder from Amazon that I will use to stir into Soups, sprinkle on foods, etc. to add up my Protein numbers without having to always drink. I also ordered vitamin patches which my doctor didn't ok yet, but I will see if my numbers stay up using them. Other ideas will help all of us.

I live in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. Maybe we could email each other, especially since our surgery date and stats are so close. I used to live near Bel Air. My email is annbehan47@gmail.com.

Thanks for responding. My email is icyoungca@yahoo.com. Are you on the pre-liquid meal plan yet?

Hello everyone. I'll be having my sleeve surgery in August. I'm concerned about low energy and the horror stories I've been reading on the complications forum. I'm so worried I'll have complications and no energy according to some of the posts I've read. I'm a healthy 62 year old woman but I've had issues in the past from a laparoscopic gall bladder removal. It subsequently lead to 3 more hernia repair surgeries. I do want the sleeve so I can have a good quality of life in my golden years, and not sit around and end up in a wheelchair because of my weight. I weigh 237 now, started at 243. Weight just sticks to me. So I'm motivated but fearful. I suppose I need to stay away from the complications forum all together.

Any thoughts? I sure could use some positive vibes about now. Thank you to all.

We should stay from the complications forum. The more you read about them, the more inclined you become certain that they are the "norm." Read about all of the success people are having and make that your reality. That's what I plan to do..

Im 69, surgery scheduled for Aug 2

I am 68 and my surgery is scheduled for 8/9. We should keep in touch. I'm in Maryland, where are you located?

68 and surgery is scheduled for 8/9/17. Wish me. Luck!

I like drinking them. The only affect I've noticed is gas after about an hour.
