Hello everyone

I finally decided to register for the site after the lastfew months of just stopping by.

I started myadventure around December/January this year and have taken forever. Most of myissues came when my insurance company let me know they were missing thingsafter they get submitted but oh well I guess that’s the way they are. I couldgo down a long list of problems I had in the process but needless to say I havemy procedure on 8/23/2011 @ 0800. Sometimes I feel I want to jump forward intime to have it all done and be skinny again and able to go running and then Iwake up lol.

I have been on the liquid diet my Doctor put me on for twoweeks which was broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-O, juices, and notto forget my protein shakes which is 52g @ 320cal twice a day. I have messed upand ate some chicken noodle soup 3 times and a couple bites of cottage cheese,but all in all I’m hoping its ok, granted after that I’m thinking to myself “didyou really need that”.

Still two more days plus a couple days in hospital, thenvacation for two weeks if we can call it a vacation L

Hi there! You get sleeved the day before me! I also started early Jan, and the process was slower than I would have liked, but that was due to some well, incompetence on the part of my surgeon's staff.

There's a sub-forum for August Sleevers, you should stop in:

And the liquid diet sucks. I have a 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I'm so ready for the post-op when I get a few extra's (creamy soup, yogurt, yum!)

Morning All

Hi Kami, I hope all goes well

Guess its off to walmart to find me something for the next couple days along with some slippers or something to wear.

On a side note I wish I had read closer about the Stntrax packets having no fat or carbs sooner and almost the same protein. I would have ordered a sampler sooner and probably lost a few more pounds, better late than never I guess.

I could probably look through here and find this but how long did most wait till they went bike riding or exercising, a week?
