Thought I would start a thread for the august sleevers going to Dr. A. I hope that we can all share our experiences.

Hello all.. I am an August 27th sleever.. I like this smaller post... The other one I read is up to 40 something pages? Hard to keep up ith it!

I don't start my liquid diet until 8/17, but I have already stocked up on Protein shakes and beverages from Dr. A's list. I haven't been emotional.. YET.. but I did tear up a little when I started reading those 15 emails from Susan.. it was REAL then. I think it was nervous tears because I am going alone and the thought of coming out of sedation and not seeing a family member shook me up a little. BUT, I know this is what I need to do....

Welcome blue , wish u all the best! I was sleeved July 7th and it was an awesome experience! How's everyone doing? I totally lost my voice! ;(

So sorry about the strep throat. My son gets it and it is so horrible. My Dr that treated him says you have to carry the strep bacteria in your body to get it. The rest of our family does not get it but he can be just NEAR someone and get it. Hope the meds help you feel better super quickly!! R>E>S>T

Going on mushies tomorrow! Can't wait, lol, I seriously have no appetite at the moment, I haven't for almost a week now, barely getting anything in, hard enough being sleeved now being sick and sleeved makes it a nightmare! Lol. I've had different things here and there like cheese and soft things, went down just fine

I think you are doing great considering. And I think it's just fantastic that Dr. A was checking on ya.

I know I won't regret my decision and I know this is best for me, but imam in that phase that I am questioning myself if I can really do this. This question is only coming up cause my days are ghastly flying by. All is good. No backing out. I am ready for a New Me!!!

I just hope that I have lost enough and did well on my diet that it shrunk my liver.

Hopefully you will kick this strep in the be-hind and feel like eating very soon!

Susan told me u should lose 7-10 pounds on preop and u will be fine

I hope so, because this no appetite thing is killing me. I'm trying so hat to follow the rules and I can't even get in my protein and what not.

It WILL happen once you get this bacteria under control. Your tummy is healing up now and it does not reqire much to fill it up. You will do better next week once you feel better and have more energy
