We're all doing it together, so cool to have support from people that are going through the same surgery ...it's comforting! My e-mail address is Laura_marie77@yahoo.com

I just had some carrots and my protein self made shake this am. I start work at 7am, so I have my first shake pretty early. Yea, my Dr said the same thing...this diet is for the liver!

I have a hard time with the protein shakes. I put yogurt in them to try to make them more statisfying. Any suggestion on what is a good brand/or trick to use? thanks

Hey You! Congratulations!!

I just got the call: I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

I put a little splenda in with the vanilla mix I use (Designer Whey), then a whole lot of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. I love that flavor and it makes me feel like I am having a pumpkin pie shake. And after surgery I plan on actually putting pumpkin in as well!

OMG!!! you got approved yeah!!! So happy for you! Awesome!!! Yea we have another person!!! This is gonna be cool....I want to hear about everyone 's journey after surgery. I am most nervous about going under.

I just got the call: I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic! Always a wonderful call!

I found that if I used fat free or 1% chocolate milk it made my shakes sooooo much better. even if it was chocolate powder I put in the chocolate milk. Then add a sweet n low.

Hey girls. I'm set for my sleeve on Nov 1. I have been on a strict liquid diet since the 18th and boy it's been tough. Proteins, broth, fruits, vegetables and sf jello. First few days sucked but a week tomorrow and ive lost 8.5 lbs already. But, did I mention it's hard? Especially since I have little to no support and my family still has to eat and I'm the one cooking for them. But..... 1 week to go. Hopefully I can make it. We all can!!! Looks like we are all in this together!!! Go us!!!!

Sandy, we are here to support you. Keep your eye on the prize. You will make it--we will make it!!! Blessings2u--BJ

Thanks BJ. I'm here for you and all our sleeve sisters too. Isn't it great that we have a support group such as this to get us thru to our goal. Good luck

Hi Sandy,

good to hear from a sister sleever. You will be one day ahead of me, I'll think about you on Tuesday. Where are you from and tell us a little something yourself!

In fact all us sleeve sisters should. I have sent a private e-mail to a couple and told them about me.. but I will post it here since we are all becoming family now!!

I am 53 years old, I weight 233 (down another pound from this diet), I live in rural North Georgia. I live on a farm, my hubby use to be a full time farmer but we got out before we were bankrupt. He has been in insurance for 25 years. We still live on the family farm, we have cattle, 4 horses, 1 goat as a companion for a very old horse, 4 bird dogs, and some chickens. My passion is trailriding! We trailride every Saturday, in fact we are leaving in the morning (probably 3-4 am) going to North Carolina trail riding for 5 days. I will come back to work for 2 days , I am a High School secretary in the discipline office.

My hubby and I were on WW he lost 60 lbs and I lost 18.... he has gone on to lose over 100lbs... I cannot lose it.. so sleeve here I come!! He is extremely supportive! in fact he really will be a lifesaver when it comes to helping me... he cooks and will not only cook for himself but will help me fix my mushy foods!!

Rhonda
