"Laurabr1,

Yes, we will make it! I'm so thankful for this site!! It helps so much. I love to read and share my thoughts and opinions. Are you getting your gallbladder removed too?

helleva

no gallbladder removed. just sleeve. i hope we can keep up with everyone. it really helps a great deal.

That's good. I have to get my gallbladder out because I have gallstones. We should make a thread for all "July Sleevers"

Hi,

So just got off the phone with my coordinator. She told me that I need to be on nothing but protein shakes, broth, & water and if I absolutely cannot take it.. then, I can eat lettuce, tomato, onion, & stuff in that nature.. but no dressings or meats.

She said this is detoxing my body along with preparing my body for surgery so that it doesn't go into shock, & to lose at least 10 pounds to shrink my liver.
