May Sleevers...where are you?

[ValerieDee1975 55]

I'm doing the Kroger brand of Slim Fast...pretty tasty

I'm doing Boost Calorie Smart - chocolate. It's the best that I've had and approved by my nutritionist. I bought stuff from them and I just don't like it.

I'm switching to Boost also...may cost a bit more, but has less sugar, haven't tried it yet so we'll see I had my preop testing today, just some blood work and my final visit with my surgeon, everything looks great! All that is left is a preop class they give for final questions (nutritionist and nurse give it), what to pack, what to expect, what to buy, etc. I am so excited but the butterflies have started...I am finally like "OMG this is really happening!" lol

I hear ya! Butterflies something awful! I'm excited, nervous, determined, etc. So many emotions! I think you will like the boost. I love it. I've lost 8lbs on my pre-op liquid diet so far. Now I'm being asked by one or two of those who know I am having the surgery why I can't just continue on my own without surgery. They just don't understand!

OMG, I get that question a lot too! What is it with people??? I started my journey in Sept of last year and my doc wanted me to loose 10 lbs...I started Weight Watchers last Oct and lost over 30lbs...so I got that question a lot from other WW people...yeah it was working for me and what not, but it was so hard and I just couldn;t really afford it long term...plus I have other health issues that having this surgery will definitely help with..anyway, i am SO GOOD with my decision...I know there may be a point where I regret doing it (apparently it's a thing) but I have been researching and prepping for over 15 years really...so I am way good! Good luck with yours too...I am really liking this site so far

Hi, I just finished my last class yesterday and I am hoping for a May date. Now I'm getting nervous but I'm excited too. I would love to have some support and buddies to share the journey.

Had my last pre-op meetings on Friday. Clear Liquids all day Monday then surgery Tuesday morning. Sure hope I'm not making a mistake.

I found a wonderful product today - I have not asked my NUT about it yet.

I am a BIG milk drinker - at my QuikTrip today I found FairLife Milk - I tried the chocolate and am going to try the white tomorrow. It was wonderful, extra Protein without the protein taste, was just like milk

Just sleeved yesterday (may 1)

Significant pain but getting better

No gas pain so far

Walking makes me nauseous but I'm doing it

I had to make the radiologist wait around because I was dry heaving during the leak test

I think they're sending me home today

Sorry for plain reply...not feeling up to whole sentences

Congratulations on the start of your new life -

I am sure the pain will be better, especially once you get home
