Hi to all november sleevers, i was supposed to have my sleeve tomorrow but due to blood problems it will probably be november now, just wanted to say hello and will let you know my date when i get it.

I have been on the liver shrinking diet for 2 weeks today, i have been having less than 800 cals a day, but am going on to 1,000 now, but staying on it so i can be ready for any cancellations once my blood results are back and i have had treatment, which could be a vitamin K injection if it is what they think it is.

I found the diet very difficult for the first few days, but just got on with it and made sure i always had a bottle of diluted juice to drink whenever the hunger pangs got bad, and made sure i had and still am having loads of veg to fill me up.

I am glad i havn't had to do the milk and yoghurt diet, eating food is much easier so i have been told.

Hoping i can have the sleeve by my birthday on the 12th, but will just have to wait and see, patience patience patience,

Hello Pink Grace,

I hope to be on the November schedule for the new surgeon I will be seeing in two weeks. I'm a bit concerned about not being 'on' a diet yet, so I don't know if November is just wishful thinking. When I met with the dietian she gave me a print out, and spoke about starting something 2 weeks before surgery.

Guess I can always change to a new month if I have too

So glad I found this wonderful site to research and find others in the same situation.

It's great!!
