Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone else is looking at having their sleeve surgery this May? It's too early for me to get an actual date, but I'm thinking it will be toward the end of May. How about you?

It is coming up fast! I am getting sleeved May 10th & just realized that this time in 3 weeks I will be sleeved! Wowsers!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!! BY THIS TIME NEXT MONTH I'LL BE SLEEVED, ON MY WAY TO BEIN A SEXIER PYT!! (PRETTY YOUNG THANG) LOL!!

I wish you well I am on day 4 of my 3 week liquid diet. I am scheduled for May 3rd.

It is not to bad. The protein drinks are thick, don't really like jello but better than not having it. I like the Spiru-Tein protein shakes. Many flavors to choose form and they are about 21 grams of protein so 4 a day and I am good and pretty full to.

your protein shakes are thick? i mix my whey protein with milk and blend. not really thick though....am i doing it wrong?

im may 10th too! i cant believe in 20 days ill be doing this! ahh!

I miss mine with water and ice, I don't think you are doing it wrong. I know that many doctors require a clear liquid diet right after surgery, so you could not use milk or most shakes. But it all depends on what your doctor tells you.

I'm going in the 7th!! I lost my 5%..and then I cheated two days ago... I had my final clearance by my primary, and met with my sergeon yesterday. He asked me if I wanted my sleeve tighter because I am short and very small framed. Any one have any input on this?

Stephane are you getting a revision done?

Yes I am.

May 11th is coming so quickly.

Neva - you are May 11th too?

THank you everyone fr the encouraging words. They help so much.

I'm on day 6 of a 2 week liquid diet ~ 2 protein shakes and a sensible dinner. It is HARD!! I posted a video on YouTube (jmcbribe) about my progress. Surgery will be May 1st @ 730 am Eastern time. Im also having my hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I expect to be real sore and gassy. I have the gas x strips and will be taking 2 prior to surgery. Anybody else on the 1st?

Hey Hun I'm on the may as well and will most likely have a hiatal hernia repaired. So we are having pretty much the same surgery. What are your stats im 24 years old, weigh 286, height 5'7. I'm on strictly liquid with a salad and fat free dressing. Why are you taking the gas x strips before surgery

I am on day 10 and 11 days to go on the liquid diet then I wake up and head to the hospital on the 3rd.

So happy, excited, can't wait that long. Its a start of a new life for me dreaming to get back into a medium again.

So long 3X never to see you again.

Shorty pants. What size is he using on you? My dr uses a 40 French which is small

Hi D1! I'm 34, 252lbs and 5'5". I'm allowed 2 shakes and the sensible meal which I try to consume for dinner but before then, the shakes, Italian ice, Popsicles, broth are not holding me at all. They recommend the gas strips prior to surgery to help with the gas afterwards.

I use one scoop and 12 ounces of milk and add ice as I like it really cold. It could be the brands not sure. I may be doing something wrong. I really did not read the directions maybe I am suppose to use 16 to 20 ounces of milk. I guess I should check that.
