Looking for a friend or two scheduled within a day or two of me that I can keep in close contact with about their experience so I do not feel so alone! Anyone else looking for a buddy? I am 209 lbs, 5' 4" (if this matters)

How's it going on your liquid diet? I start mine on the 22nd. Any words of wisdom to get through it please share.

I'll be your sleeve buddy! My surgery is also on the 18th! I can't even explain how nervous I am!

Im on the 18th as well! We need to keep in touch...good luck to all if us

Good luck to you all that have your surgeries just around the corner. Are any of you with Kaiser? I have my pre-op on Aug 6th with Dr. Zane. How long after this meeting was your surgery scheduled for? Also, My Kaiser group has a face book page called Skinnycow mob 126. If you guys want to like that page you can give us pointers and motivation too.

How exciting your about to take the next step to improve your quality of life.

I'm scheduled for the 18th too! I'm not gonna lie..im getting nervous (but excited). Good luck to you!!

After the consult it is usually within 4 weeks...a friend of mine was scheduled within 2 weeks ...it depends on the doctors schedule

I'm scheduled for the 18th as well. Anxiety is buiding. It's been a 1 1/2 year journey from intial info session to now. I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be, but that doesn't keep the anxiety in check. Thank God for xanax.

I have been drinking the Premier brand Protein shakes from Sam's Club. They come in vanilla and chocolate, 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. They taste very sweet and are great! I am also drinking Campbell's chicken broth with a 1/2 scoop chicken flavored unjury Protein powder. Unjury chicken protein powder is delicious! I also have sugar free popsicles, Fruit 2 O waters and sugar free Jello. I just keep drinking the sugar free flavored waters if I still feel cravings. After the first 3 days it seemed to get easier. I am on day 9 and I feel pretty good and I'm down 11 pounds!

My surgery is tomorrow, too. I'm packed and nervous. I wish all my sleeve buddies good luck and many prayers.

Thanks so much for the advice. I'm headed to costco on thursday to get the Premier protein shakes, they were also recommended to me. Any flavor better then another? Good luck with your surgery and keep me posted on your progress please, I'd love to hear about it.

I drink premier as well. The chocolate is very tasty...especially if you freeze it then it's like an ice cream shake.
