Hi Everyone! This is my first posting. I get sleeved on April 30th in Buffalo, NY! I'm super excited! My doctor (Dr. Aaron Hoffman) is AMAZING and I have so much trust and confidence in him which makes this process better. I had lap-band 6 years ago and just got it removed last Monday. I had zero results with the band and I would throw up all the time. For the past couple years the band was empty. I originally was only getting the band removed, but did a ton of research on the sleeve and knew it was right for me. I have a great support system at home and it feels awesome to have such a wonderful support system through all of you! I can't wait for all of us to take this journey together!

How are y'all doing with your preop diets? I'm at the end of day 1 and can feel myself getting more irritable since about 3pm. Also the Protein Shake was ok this morning but I only drank half for dinner. Ready to be on the loser's bench!!

That's great! Welcome to the group! I love this site. I find myself on here multiple times a day. I was originally going to get the band because my insurance didn't cover the sleeve. I was very fortunate that during my three month program, my insurance changed and started covering the sleeve in Jan. The sleeve was my first pick...I knew it was the right decision.

Isn't this site fantastic! I'm so happy for you with your insurance. I have an insurance that approved everything right away which was a big relief. My process so far has been easy and painless but I know that's all going to change. I'm nervous about the mental changes that I have to make with food. I'm trying to come to terms with the very small portions. I'm actually going to buy little kids plates so it looks like I'm eating a lot :o) another thing was I had so much hope with the band and nothing came of it. I'm really excited about the sleeve because I see all these amazing results so I'm praying it works successfully with me. I don't think I was mentally ready 6 yrs ago when I got the band but I'm 29 now and ready to take it on.

Hi SkinnyMom2b,

My diet starts tomorrow. I'm ready!! Got my Protein samples in the mail, so I will be trying them with different drink recipes. I want to get the Isopure clear drinks. I've heard that more people like them as compared to others. Just ordered all my Vitamins today. It is exciting, isn't it!!

Atkinsoncl,

How did you get Protein samples in the mail? Is there a website you can buy a bunch to try?

I ordered them from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com. I got 2 vanilla, 2 chocolate, 2 unflavored, 2 chicken Soup, a food thermomater and a shaker. I'm going to start trying them tomorrow. My cousin had bypass and she loved the chicken Soup.< /p>

Wow! Look at all th people who joined in! I am not on a preop diet. My doctor doesn't require one; although, I might do one for a couple of days on my own. I am from SC, but I live in Kuwait. I am really getting nervous and excited at the same time.

One thing that is a bit worrying is that I am a vegetarian. I guess I will just drink veggie broth for the first few days?

Can't wait to hear more from all of y'all.

One of my biggest hopes is that this summer when I fly home, I can fit comfortably in the airplane seat and not crowd my children in!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
