I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

OOOOO MMMM GGGG.... IM APPROVED I GOT THE CALL THIS AM @ 11 & I MISSED IT, I WAS IN A MANAGERS MEETING.. AFYER GOING ROUND & ROUND WIT INSURANCE & DAILY CALLS FOR 9 DAYS... MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED... MY PRE OP APPT IS IN THE AM & SURGERY CAN NOW STAY AS PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK 26th.. Wow I had gotten really discourage some of those day during the waiting game, I gave it up to God last night so I could stop stressing so much.. wow & looked what happen I at last heard those magic words I'm approved...

Congrats! That is wonderful news! You'll be another big D sleever!

I'm also having a huge issue with protein. I didn't get any yesterday, maybe 30g the day before and I'm dreading trying again today.

I need help! I was sleeved March 15 and I'm having a hard time getting protein in. Nothing taste good to me in that department. I've even tried the injury flavorless powder but I can't get past the smell or texture/milky-looking concoction. Any suggestions??

Try Isopure. It's light tasting and is 2 grams of protein per oz. 1 20oz bottle has 40 grams of protein. It is by far the the most painless way to get the protein in. Comes in several flavors

Traycrow' date=' good for you! Thats a fantastic weight loss. You have lost twice as much as i have. I didnt mean to sound negative - i was just looking for advice or possibly encouragement from someone who might be having similar problems as mine. It's scary to think i did all this for 14 pounds! :-0. I too have followed the rules and i would like to lose 120 to 130 pounds. I was just hoping it would fall off in the very beginning. It started that way, but stopped 2 days ago. I'm holding my breath, hoping & praying for a big drop tomorrow...and was just posting my emotions because i thought someone would be supportive in this forum. We're all going thru the same surgery.[/quote']

My post wasnt reguarding anything you said about losing slow. Im sorry if I offended you. Everyone loses at their own pace. I also couldve had a higher BMI than you so that could also be why I have lost weight faster. I have talked to so many different people reguarding their weight loss and everyone ia different. I actually stepped on the scale since starting purees and it hasnt moved since yesterday. Your body is such a facinating thing and when it is ready is when you will start to shed more pounds. Patience is a vertue. But when it comes to surgery and all we have worked for sometimes we wanna see results faster than slower. Good luck to everyone and we will lose the weight

Had mine done today not feeling to bad , everything went great.

My protein intake is low to I will just have to work on it when I can start shakes I did mix a little unflavored powder in jello.

Ok....all went well. I get to go home in a couple of hours...Dr Mun and his staff have gifted hands.

Yay Yay!

Hi march sleevers- is now been 48 hours since I got to the recovery room. I came home yesterday afternoon. I was able to sleep all night flat and today I drank some k2o water for a little protein. I made 8oz of broth and it was heavenly - great way to get fluids and soothing. Also munching on ice like crazy, its good to chew. My stats so far are:

HW: 200

SW: 192

CW: 191.5

Sleep position! I have been having so much trouble sleeping because I'm not a back sleeper. Also, when I lay flat it hurts my stomach. I only feel comfortable if I can sit up slightly. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just opened my email and found an email from my doctor's office with letters that spelled out "Congratulations" and my surgery date of March 18th, It was like I won some thing, Hehe!! Looks like I will be collecting my prize on March 18th Her we go!!! WEEEEEEEE!!!!! By some weird chance anyone in San Antonio, Texas ??

I had my surgery on March 18th also. How are you feeling? I am pretty sore and full of trapped gas, but I am ok!

I also can't lay flat. It's to uncomfortable right now. So I sleep sitting slightly up

Great to hear Sunshine!!

Kodiesmom, i felt the same way at first. I thought id never get that pukey isopure shake down after surgery, but all i did was add some blueberry crystal light & i couldnt believe the improvement. It went from yuck to almost yummy. Recently i bight the vanilla whey powder from costco. Today i opened it &added half if a scoopful to non-fat Greek yogurt & voila! It was like eating cheesecake! Keep trying. You'll find something that works for your tastebuds.

Glad to hear everyone doing well and getting the fluids and protein down.

Well my stresses continue... I posted previously about my dad drinking and hopefully we're on the right path now, he's been sober 3 days.

Now my daughters father has decided to send me an abusive idiotic text message. She is 3, he barely sees her (2hrs every 6wks) and now she is crying not wanting to go out with him and it's my fault - he's a complete imbecile. I'd laugh if I wasn't so angry.

Work has also been mega stressful and I'm going to hospital tomorrow to get a little cyst cut out my eyelid. All this while being on a preop diet.

I am actually proud how I've stuck to the diet and coped with all this pressure.

I'm hoping it means I'm due some good luck next Tues at my op.

So scary!!!

Oh I also meant to ask if anyone thought it would cause a problem by having minor surgery on my eyelid? Would this affect me getting my op next week?

I can't see how it would but you never know....I'll definitely be asking before I get it done.
