Hey! My name is Jackie. My surgery is scheduled April 2 and in super nervous! It would be really cool to find someone to share this journey with.

Hey Jackie, my name is Dori. I had my sleeve done Dec. 17th 2013 so it's all pretty new to me too, but I can tell you I've lost 50 pounds so far !! YeahY! So don't worry that this won't work ..it will. You look really young in your photo, im 55 and live in SoCal.

Well let me start with this... make sure you get Protein shakes you really like, thats important. I really like the ones that my doctor sells VHP brand. Ther pretty good but you need to mix them so ther not already prepared. Also get lots of "Isopure"...in the bottle. It's not a mix it's a drink and has 40 grams of protein. I really like it cause you can get your Water and protein at the same time. They taste great, you can order a case of 12 from "the Vitamin Shop" online. You'll find thats its really really hard to drink your 64 oz of water aday because #1 water will taste soooo grossssss now! and 2# you get so full from the shakes.

What ever you do DONT EAT ANY food BEFORE 4 WEEKS. You wont feel to great if you do, pain and disscomfort..i know.

Well kido, you hang in.

Dori

Lucy r u on the liquid diet right now?? If so how's that going?

Hi, I'm not doing the liquid diet before... I've been dieting since I meet with my surgeon 2 weeks ago... He said I only needed to lose weight before, anyway I can... I'm in England and I've paid hard cash for my operation so I think I get to call the shots a bit more... I've got my pre op appointment Thursday, so maybe they will say I need to start the liquids... I'm in a really good head space at the moment so I'll go along with what I'm told... I'm being careful what I read now on these forums, I don't want to hear the bad stuff... I look forward to following your progress... Are you excited??? X

Excited and scared at the same time. All in all I'm ready to be a sleever.

I can't believe how slow and yet fast April 2nd is approaching! So ready to do this!!

Fast and slow is right! Good analogy for how I'm feeling, too!
