Hi folks, looking for other folks scheduled for March...anyone?

How are you preparing for surgery? What protein sources are you planning to use?

Kb88 thanks for the advice but i dont need to postpone. Ivebeen in this process for 9 months now and i couldnt be anymore excited!!. I guess just in the back of my mind i worry like everyone else. It is major surgery and a major life change but im in it for the long haul!thanks.. Like 33 hours or so till surgery!! Im elated

Very cool . Just reading "cold feet" is what prompted my response.

March 31st I become a sleever. I am so excited!!!

Surgery in the morning!!!!!! At 9:30 ET. Yay!!!! Gotta be at hospital by 7:15. Good luck jaime_boston and fellow march 18ers. We can do this!!

Its called nectar and I got vanilla bean I put it in my morning coffee. Its great. They have other flavors as well. That's whey protien.

Best to u on ur surgery. Mines March 25th. I'm excited but nervous as well.

Good luck to all going into surgery this week!

So i am on my way to the hospital now!! Thank you all for the wishes. Ill see you on the other side!!

I wss fine with the band. All these heparin shots are terrifying me. (Wimp) I am dreading leaving my baby, but I have to get it done before he starts crawling, which is like weeks away. I am looking forward to a thin me!

Don't worry about the shots. I was poked twice a day. Request it in your stomach while the nurse spread your skin and it will hurt much less!

Get the shot in your tummy, trust me,do not get it in your arm

Yay good luck to today's sleevers! Update as soon as you're up to it!

Had my two week follow up with my surgeon today. He was super happy with my weight loss (20 lbs in 13 days) and my incisions look good. I get to start puréed on Thursday. Had some blood work done too. I have him a big hug because I knew that was probably the last time I'll see him and I am just sooo thankful for such an amazing surgeon. Probably not something he's used to but hey I have no shame.

My surgery in at 6:30am in the morning so excited Wish all a good journey as your date comes.

Had my procedure yesterday, the pain wasn't too bad afterwards I only ask for pain meds right after surgery once which was at 7 a/m. It was a long day for me because of nausea, it did ease later that night, all of the tests look good and the Dr said I can go home today. Trying to get in my water now sip sip all day. Good luck everyone my journey has begun.

Good for you! I promise each day gets better! Rest, sip, walk, rest! The first 48 hours were my worst.
