Long Island Sleevers

Hi! I'm just starting out and I will be having my surgery at Winthrop hospital. Just wondering if anyone has used this group. My dr is Dr A. Barken. I'm going to my primary dr to get a weigh in tomorrow and see if we can back track a few months.

I'm in southern Nassau county if anyone is looking for a buddy

I am well. So far I am on puréed foods and my stomach can stomach it all thus far. Tomorrow I begin stage 4. How are you?

Hi there,

I am also from Suffolk County and had my surgery at Stony Brook on 8/18/16. I was on a liquid diet one week before and 3 weeks after the surgery. I just stared soft foods. The liquid diet is rough but you have to remember the long term goal to get the weight off and be a healthier you. I could not actually believe how fast the month went. Before you know it all of this will be behind you and you will also be on soft foods.

Are you also allowed puréed Soups that helped fill me up ?

I am down 30 pounds as of yesterday and feeling good. Please feel free to ask me questions if you like.
