I am excited, wished I could have scheduled it sooner however I have some obligations and didn't know how I would be postop so i opted to have it later.

GNC Cookies and Cream whey is one of the best. Try the vanilla, and add some of that orange drink Water flavoring to make a creamsicle shake. I always try to mix them up during the day, so I dont get just tired of one flavor. Good luck! I was supposed to have mine this past Monday, but at the last minute my insurance got messed up so I'm waiting for clearance.

Congratulations! I'm considering having the sleeve as well but need to find out if my insurance will cover it. Not looking forward to that process. I have Anthem Blue Cross. Anyway, congratulations again! :)

Congratulations!!! The pre-op diet isn't as bad as it seems...the first 2 - 3 days are tough, but after that its a breeze. Good luck!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
