So I totally let the excitement of seeing the surgeon on Thursday and just nearing the end of the pre-op process get the best of me. I've gained 3.2 lbs since my last weight check at home. I'm not discouraged just mad I allow myself to eat emotionally still. Grrrr.. Back to the grind today tho.. Chocolate protein shake for breakfast here I come! Have a good day my sleeve friends!

Monnica

you can do it! the first day back tothe grind is always the hardest for me.

I'm right in your boat Patriotsfan. I had been doing really well but really messed up this wknd. Went to a birthday party and another get together and ate everything I shouldn't. The only thing I stayed away from was alcohol. I'm back to my French vanilla protein shake this morning.

It is hard, but I'm doing it. Can't wait to fill up on my chicken broth and natural applesauce! Oh Yum! Lol Which brand do you use for protein shakes? French vanilla sounds good! I only use the syntrax nectar sweets in Chocolate, I can handle the strawberry, but the vanilla tasted like a cake batter and I couldn't get it down. I'd love to get creative but I'm really fussy. Ideas??

Right now I'm drinking generic slim fast shakes, mostly to make sure I'm at my starting weight when I see my surgeon for the last time on April 24th. I can look at food and gain weight!!

So do you have a surgery date yet or is that what the 24th visit with the surgeon is all about?

No. My insurance requires a 6mo supervised program. I'm finished May 7 so I will hopefully be approved a few days after and will be set for surgery the end of May. The surgeon won't give a date without insurance approval first. How about you?

Btw where are you from? I'm in Patriots country in MA.

I'm up in Manchester, NH.. I'm seeing my surgeon on thurs 4/11 and then they say within 48 hours ill receive a call with the date, still assuming the insurance goes through. Anthem BCBS.. BUT... I too should be end of May!! Woohoo

Yay that's so exciting!!!! Let me know when your date is! I can't wait to have this done already. My name is Jessica

Most definitely!! I'm loving the feeling of I'm not alone in this. It's great knowing other people are going in around the same time as me.
