Any April sleevers out there?

[curvyweezie 62]

I'm so ready!! I'm ready for the work, ready for change, I'm even ready to stop eating the way I have been. I feel trapped by my body. I feel trapped with my eating. I'm just ready. COME ON APRIL 8TH!!! We're gonna do this ladies!!

Bebee sleeve sisters it is! Love that. Lucie so far I tried the GNC whey banana cream and the Unjury orange dream sickle. Both were very good. I didn't like the Jay Robb tropical something that tasted like Water. I have a bunch more flavores to try and can let you know my opinions on them if you are interested. I haven't really found a ready made shake that I like yet, they all seem to have that after taste to me. I'm trying to figure it all out before my surgery so that I have what I like stocked up in the house because I'm sure I won't feel like shopping for alittle while.

Curvy I'm so ready to! Nervous but ready. Looking forward for my new life to begin, it will be hard but so worth it in the end! We can do it!

Kari, I tried the Chike chocolate Bliss and it was really good. I also tried the Atkins Advantage ready made chocolate shake but that doesn't have enough Protein in it. Thanks for all your insight on what you've tried. I'm sure everyone here is helped by your information. I still have to try the Unjury vanilla and chocolate splendor and the Chike very vanilla and orange creme. I don't think I'll try the chicken Soup mix. Somehow a chicken soup shake just doesn't do it for me...lol.

Thanks Lucie, I never heard of the Chike, I will have to look that up. I tried the Atkins as well and your right you would need to drink about 8 of them to get enough Protein for the day! LOL..The Unjury orange dreamsickle and banana cream were very good. I tried the Jay Robb chocolate today and I just don't like their shakes, they taste like Water to me and I even added alittle light cream to it and still didn't like it. I wish I did because his shakes are very healthy for you, oh well. I did buy the Unjury chicken Soup because everyone says it's good, but i haven't tried it yet, I will let you know..

I just tried the Unjury strawberry. Not a fan of it in Water. Maybe have to mix it with something else. Perhaps lemonade.

Or try skim milk with it..You can also try adding alittle Light cream to it with the Water and see if that helps..The orange creamsickle was really good and the banana cream..

I've been using 2% milk. I had asked my medical team about it and they said ..."we'll, if you HAVE to".... I said I did !Lol

hi, i was suppose to have my sleeve on oct 8th last year but due to more health issues it was delayed, i had a few dates since, one was for 24th march but now it is going to be april, dont know when, but after waiting 53 months i finally believe it will be april.

I have already done one liver shrinking diet up to 3 days before my op should have been so know what is coming.

Im diabetic so i did the 800 cal low fat, low carb, low Protein diet, for the first three days i could have eaten my own fingers but after that it was easier and i felt so good on it, the only prob i had was sleep, im like a baby, full tummy sleep, empty stomach no sleep and grumpy, lol.

Im in the uk and having my sleeve on the nhs, and i only get one shot at it, so its got to be right.

I was so ready in oct and was devestated when my op was cancelled, but have grown through it and am so sure that this is going to give me a new me and a new life.

I had my gall bladder out 16 years ago at this weight and sailed through it, by keyhole, and i have been told that the sleeve is no more dangerous than a gall bladder removal, so am confident i will be good despite the added health issues i now have.

It is great to see so many excited april sleevers, i want to be sitting on the loosers bench with you in may.

Im Janet, aged 55 and raring to go, x

Hi Janet...so sorry you've had to wait so long, I've been waiting over a year and thought that was bad! Good luck on your new date I Hope you get it soon...Lucie, my nutritionist recommended Skim Plus to me and it really isn't bad, it's way better then regular skim milk, has a creamy taste to it, worth a try..
