Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!

[Tstorm1070 192]

Someone help me!.. i am sooo struggling on this diet. And to add insult to this " injury"' date=' the nurse practitioner called me and happened to hear how congested i am. She said if it doesnt clear up, they will cancel surgery!!!!!!! Im naturally stuffed up but have had an upper resp infection for the past 2 months...(on and off)

Please pray that this cold clears soon!!.. if they cancel its back to food for a day for me. I cant do this another week.. its torture.

Where i am, we can only have 5 shakes a day. Nothing added but the powder and the milk. We can have broth and crystal liht etc.. nothing more.. i cant do but so much chicken and beef broth. vanilla strawberry and chocolate are now my enemies. Help me lord.. this too shall pass![/quote']

I start mine today! I only get 5 shakes a day too and I'm up for over 24 hours a day. So this will be interesting. I'm am going to struggle I know but we have to remember what the goal is in site. The nut said after kesadosis (sp) is ober about day four it gets easier. Lets keep our fingers crossed! I hope to sleep more through the beginning of the liquids (:

Good luck to you!

Today is my LAST day of food! I feel sad and mad and glad! I go to Clear Liquids tomorrow with 4 Protein Shakes per day with only Water mixed in. Gross. I know this is the right decision for me but it doesn't make the jacked up relationship that I"ve had with food for my whole life any easier to break up!

Me too! I am so freakin' excited. I'm going shopping this weekend so my kids and I are ready for the first few weeks post-op. I don't have to do a pre-op liquid diet so I'm not struggling too much. Superbowl Sunday will be a challenge though. Best of luck to you!

I pray your stomach and mind treats you well... Protein shakes and water is a bit harsh... I swear..I should have started this long ago to prepare for today.

And I fully understand the food relationship. I feel like a little kid who is seeking affection from a parent and being rejected. I can either A) scream and fuss (like Im doing) about how its not fair and continue to do bad things to get any attention, or I can deal with it and find something else that will fill the void positively...

I have started walked 9 flights of stairs a day until surgery. Best I can do to take my mind off it..

Best of luck to you. I am here with you~~~~~~~~~

31 years old living in Kansas City, MO. SLeeve date Feb 28, 2013. I cant wait. Im trying to go to bed early every night, so that day can hurry and get here. Going to Walmart this weekend so I can get my Protein mix and Vitamins and pre op stuff. Feels like Christmas for some reason.

[InMyNext30Years! 42]

Caramelbaby! I couldn't have said it better myself! I know exactly how you feel! I am sitting in the doctors office right now I showed up an hour early! (Lol I couldn't wait any longer) to meet my new doctor, who will hopefully be doing my surgery!
