Hey I was wondering do you guys want to start a Facebook group?

I think a private Facebook group would be great! I'm interested, if anyone else is. Though not sure I'm techy enough to set one up...

I am terrified that my tastes will change and I won't like the shakes I like now. I think though I will be okay, mainly because I have given up real sugar a long time ago, and I am very used to the tastes.

I often forget to eat, so Protein shakes are the perfect fill in for me. Also, not really a morning person so they are perfect Breakfast.< /p>

I must be the onky weirdo tgat loves Protein Shakes and drinks them all the time. They are great for hair growth.

When I wake up in the morning, i start my pre-op. It is only 10 days and i can do 10 days standing on my head. I am worried about the lower energy at first since i have so many errands to run pre-op. I also have hair, nails, a pedicure I need to fit in over the next 10 days.


Nope, not weird!! I love drinking Protein shakes too. I drink them for breakfast even if I'm not currently "dieting" - I like the taste and they are fast. I'm a "do I sleep 10 more minutes or make a breakfast?" kind of person. :-)

I nervous about my tastes changing after surgery. Some people have said they drank them pre-op, but couldn't stand the taste post op!

At this point I don't want all my friends on Facebook to know about my surgery. I just noticed that the July sleevers group appears on my page as one of my groups, even though I know our posts will be hidden. Is there a way to hide this? Otherwise I would rather just keep posting on here.

I'm also in Orlando. July 17 and terrified :(

Oh wow, are you with Dr. Jawad as well, or did you go with Florida Hospital?

I'm actually a selfpay and will be going to Mexico. I've wanted this surgery for years and when I finally got a job with good insurance, I was told it isn't covered by my policy, even if medically necessary.

I also left the group, at least until we get an answer about hiding it. Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

I created an alias Facebook page so that I could join a sleever FB group without the fear of anyone else finding out. I first created a new hotmail account, then a FB account. It took me less than ten minutes. I would recommend doing it that way so that it's more private! I have only told my husband, his parents, my parents, and my best friend. I want to keep it that way too ;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
