I chose not to tell my bosses as I wasnt taking FMLA, just employer medical leave.

I am open about my sleeve and have no shame in telling anyone. I am of the mindset that SWL as a whole needs to be normalized and brought to the light. I mean I don't walk up to random strangers but if someone asks, I tell them

I was 450 when I started my overall weight loss journey. I was down to 331 at first SWL visit and as of surgery Thursday (sleeve) I was 308. I went to a dr's appt Monday and was down to 298. I refuse to weigh myself again until my 2 week follow up lol. Pics of full body was me at my highest and 3 days before surgery. Pics of just my head was me on Monday.

Sugar free outshine bars were my friends. I have also been adding unflavored protein to my gatorade zero cause any of the Protein Shakes have been hurting my pouch. Hope it gets better!

Mine was last Thursday as well. I am a stomach sleeper so U put a pillow on my sore incision and lay on my side. It works great! I feel better than I have ever before!

This is my thought too. My program has an affiliation but they tell me to whatever Protein I feel comfortable with as long as it is low in sugar and carbs. I was solely using PP and Core Power with Fairlife milk and my Dietician suggested using Quest which has less sugar and tasted better to me. They always suggested Unjury first but ultimately say just get your protein in

Today is the day! So ready to get this done. I have my surgery in 3 hours...AAAAHH🤪

After I did a 4 month mandatory program, my insurance approved it after 1 day. I am scheduled for Sept 10th due to having to wait for time off to be approved for work.

I am day 5 of my liquid diet and I dont care for my Protein Shakes. So i started adding ice to them and blending them to be "milkshake" consistancy. I also found flavors that would be good with PB Fit and add those for extra Protein. My nutrionist told me I can add liquid consistency baby food in as long as there is no added sugar for the in between times.

You can do this! I am down 14 lbs in 5 days doing this.

I cook for my family too and I have been on the liquid diet for about 5 days now. Best thing I can suggest is drink something while you are making food. it has kept my hands busy when I am tempted to taste test my food. The first 3 days are really the hardest and then day 4 was when the head hunger hit. Today has been so easy to manage. You can do it!

I have major depressive disorder and anxiety. My surgeon and I have decided that gastric sleeve will be best for me. I have the blessing of my Psychiatrist and my therapist. I will also meet with my therapist once a week for 8 weeks to make sure i am stable. Congrats on your decision!!
