@@Running2theSleeve, @amylovesparis and anyone else, I would be happy to be a buddy. Though I have a supportive family, I am the only family member who has struggled with obesity. Yes they are supportive, but do not understand. Hang in there. YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I would love to have some buddies! I even posted how I have little support! My mom nor sisters understand (they have never weighed over 150)

I just really got my 3 babies and 3 more iffy' s now.

But imma do this! It helps having this forum! My mind is so consumed with getting this surgery now and it's sad when you have no one to really talk to.

I'm at the end stages of my pre op testing and looking forward to a Sept/Oct date.

Good for you!! I am in the same boat:)
I have found that there is plenty of support here..good luck to you

Tina I can totally relate. My mom becomes instantly INFURIATED if the topic of surgery is brought up. I decided to bring a friend/therapist with me because I knew she could provide the positivity I need during the pre and post op. Cheers to new friendships! :)

Why Everybody else diet starts 1- 2 weeks before surgery. The hospital I'm going to ask to go on liquid diet 2 days before surgery

Every hospital has different guideline. I was sleeve at NYP on 5/29/15 and did a 2 week diet prior to surgery

Hi all, upper Manhattan here. 7 weeks post op. I was sleeved 5/29/15 at NY Presbyterian.

Definitely agree yes every hospital and every doctor is different. For example my pre-opt liquid diet was only 24 hours before surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
