I will probably update. I just can't be held responsible for and grammatical errors. Lol

I wanted to update. But my arms weren't cooperating.

Nope. That anesthesia knocked u smooth out. I'm really easy to rouse from it usually. But it does make me very nauseated.

The anesthesia makes me soooo sick. Hopefully the anti-nausia meds will work fine and no nausea.

Going to bed. Good luck to us sleevers tomorrow. I'll post soon as I'm able.

They were ProtiDiet Soups. Tomato and creamy chicken. The tomato was awful and pink, and the creamy chicken wasn't awful, but I'm not sure I could handle it. I'm just bummed cause they have 15g of Protein. I was so surprised, since the concentrate stuff is so good. Bahahahahahaha. That gave me a good lol. Cinnamon. Ha!

i have tried proti-stuff before in my pre-op....blech! i bought the puddings...well, i spent so much money on them and they are high in protein so im gonna figure out a way to use them. but definitely, i know now to just make regular food, and use the unflavored protein to add to it! i tried protidiet caramel pudding - made the cup of pudding, took a few bites. it was alright...if i can add something it might taste better, idk what tho...well, i ate half, then got a shower and when i came back, it was this nasty liquid something or other in the cup, like it completely lost its pudding texture!!

Gross! I haven't tried the pudding, I figure I'll just make my own or buy the cups. Hah. I do really love the protidiet concentrates that you add to Water. Most of the flavors are pretty good, and 15 easy grams of protein.

Thankfully I was able to try most of the protidiet stuff before buying a box of it. My doc has had a pick 7 packets of stuff for $9.

Maybe you can add extracts for flavor? They have coffee extract and cacao. I bet those would taste good with caramel.

I know! I'm sort of starting to get a tad anxious. But the excitement outweighs that for the most part. It's me and Leigh Anne tomorrow. All the people today are leading the pack this week and I bet they do great.

It's so nice to have a bunch of people going through this together and all being sleeved so close together. I love it!

Me too. You feel less alone. Your friends make you stronger and it makes you feel good to be there for them and know they are cheering you on as well. It's so great to actually talk to someone who honestly knows what you're going through and creates a sort of kinship.

Oh yeah. If I had been more active on this site last year when my band was removed I am sure I would have done the band to sleeve in the same surgery. But I am glad I went about it this way. I didn't feel trapped or forced in to anything. I didn't tell my husband or my mom until I had an appointment to go see my surgeon to ask him questions about it. I got to ask questions on this app/site and get to research as much as I can find.
