Hello. I am having my sleeve on July 14th, or so it is scheduled. Hope to have some buddies to go through it with. Any July Sleevers out there?

After a year of a pre-reqs and a battle with my insurance company and the painful slowness of my surgeon's office staff I FINALLY got my surgery date!!

July 1st 2015 - 2 days before my 40th birthday! :D I guess there will be no cake for me! ;) LOL

I'm getting my sleeve done on July 4th. I've known my date since early March, but I find as it gets closer and closer I am becoming much more nervous than I was previously.

I'm getting mine done in Mexico, my mom is coming with me.

I don't have the exact date yet. I got on June 17th to talk to the surgeon, nutritionist, and psychiatrist. I am hoping for a mid-July date, as I am a teacher and want to get it done while I am off work. The people in the office seem to think it will work! I'll keep you updated!

So... what is everyone doing to prepare for your surgeries next month?

I've been doing the normal things- figuring out work time off, what to do with my kids and asking for help when my husband goes back to work. I've also been doing surgery things like taste testing different Protein drinks (I am not a fan of Syntrax, I love Premier Protein), reading books and packing away all my fat clothes!

Trying to get ready also.. I'm reading a lot and making lists of things I need.. Trying out shakes is a great idea have you heard that your tastes change?? I also went back to my boot camp just a couple days a week to try to build up my stamina.. Oh yes also bought a fit bit to track everything.,

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
