I couldn't find a June Sleevers forum. If there is one already please direct me!

Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I really wanted it to be sometime during the end of May but that didn't happen. My family will be going out of town, to Disney to be specific, a few days after my surgery because my cousin from Mexico will be making his fist trip here. I'm so sad I won't be joining them but my parents keep telling me I need to look at the bigger picture, or should I say smaller. Haha. I have my preop appointment May 27th. I'm curious as to what kind of diet he will put me on! I'm just excited to get this going! So who else has a June Date? Who is hoping for a June Date? Are you ready yet? Nervous? Excited?

Hey,

For all of you that are searching for vitamins, and protein drinks my surgeon gave me this web site for my stuff.

Karen44,

Hi. It is hard to follow one person on here, wished I knew how, so please share if you know. I would be happy to chat back and forth.

My surgery date is the 27th, seems like a life time away. I just received all my paperwork, pre-op, surgery instructions, post-op diet. So it is getting real.......

Where are you having your surgery, etc...... ? Just know we are doing what is right for us.....

im in San Antonio at the Methodist hospital. I know it seems like the time is dragging but it starts to move along once you are in the last month. I am at peace with my decision to move forward with this surgery because I have exhausted all other options. I start my pre op diet of 2protein shakes and one small meal a say on Monday 6/2. I can't wait to get on the other side of the surgery, where are you in Texas? It is hard to follow one person but I have responses going to my email so I can follow that way.

I'm on June 9! And cannot wait, have my pre-op appointment Monday and I'm good to go!

Hi all, I'm a June 5th also in Pittsburgh.

Can you all believe June is just around the corner? Time for us all to start the next chapter in our lives. Can't wait 3 weeks left till surgery for me.

My surgery is June 4th.... Six days to go!!! I'm so scared and nervous. It's real, it's life changing (yes, I did know that). Just all coming together faster than I imagined. So many unknowns... Anyone else feeling like this?

Yes! My date is June 4th as well. Seems like most say they are excited but I am more in the scared category and wondering if I am making the right decision. Just cant stop worrying about nausea, complications, and trying to drink protein shakes. I am also very unprepared and have bought nothing much yet from the store for either myself or my family. Seems like May has been a very busy month around here with softball/baseball games, etc. Planning to do a bunch of shopping this weekend but have no clue what kind of protein shake to try next. I only tried Premium Protein chocolate ready made shake and I thought it was nasty. That was disappointing since it seemed to get pretty good reviews. Think I am going to try the Syntrax Nectar stuff next, My doctors office carries that one and they have sample packs for 1.75. Anyone else tried those? I am also thinking I should get something unflavored that I can try to mix in with broth, yogurt, etc.

My surgery is the 3rd and I'm getting really nervous also! I need to go buy things also I just have a 3 year old boy to feed so he's pretty easy to please but I keep wondering if I'm making the right decision also

Yes- mine is June 20th. Soooo excited! Yet, nervous too. What helps me with the fear though is the power of hope. I gave up after so many failures at losing weight. But I didn't realize how dead inside I felt from giving up. Sure, I know that my VSG won't solve all my problems. I have to work it. But the difference is - by analogy - the difference between having a boat to cross the river and trying to swim without one. Hope is a powerful thing!

This is my third day of the liquid diet. Mi am not hungry, it is the turning off of the brain that tells me I need to eat. Too bad they can't operate on the mind too.

Hi all!

Sticking with your decision I guess really depends on how prepared you are and how well your doctor and team have prepared you. I am more than confident because my team is so awesome. This liquid diet is no fun, but hey, I've lost like 7 lbs since starting it! You'll do great. Stay confident and stay connected here. This is the best thing ever for support from all over the world!

Hello beautiful ppl I am scheduled for June 20th and I really don't know how to feel I guess im just ready 4 results not looking forward to the rough patch that I know I must experience but im a bit worried about this 2week liquid diet I'm trying to mentally prepare myself but does anybody have and tips or advice on how to get through the liquid diet? Things to drink should I put fruits and veggies in my ninja or stick to thin liquids

You might be able to do fruits and veggies. My dr is protein only with mil 14 days pre op
