Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Joe and I'm scheduled for my sleeve on March 28th. I'm nervous and scared, but more importantly I'm scared if I don't get the surgery. I've been obese and overweight my whole life and I just turned 40 and started having medical issues. My partner has been super supportive but I haven't told too many friends. I didn't have a good experience with telling my best friend, so it turned me off. Haven't been to any support groups yet, that's not my scene- but I will say this forum has been amazing! Thanks to all of you and for having an LGBT thread!

Welcome! Hope you find the boards helpful. I've been in here since Jan. Sleeved last Tues. I've found VST to be a helpful tool.

Hi Joe! Good luck with your surgery. I'm scheduled for March 29th.

Feel free to keep in touch. It would be great to chat with someone else on a similar timeline as our journey begins!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
