    Hi everyone, I had gastric sleeve surgery Aug. 3rd. I am so done with this liquid diet. I can't even drink 64oz of anything let alone get more than a half of a protein shake in. At least my pants that

    August 6th surgery date here. Starting my week-long liquid diet tomorrow. I thought I would spend this weekend saying goodbye to my favorite foods and restaurants and I just haven't felt like it.

I’m August 23
[mention=343065]Starr2015[/mention] OMG I feel so weak at work this morning. I had to go with Gatorade low sugar because the regular is just too sweet for me. Its weird because before it lacked sugar lol. I used a protein powder with 60grams of protein. Of course I only used half of it with my herbalife shake formula which I love banana caramel and it tasted horrible as well. I am done with this liquid stage but can't tolerate anything else. I order some things from Bariatric pal to eat for this week and they should arrive to me job today. I cannot wait lol
I notice you take Herbalife shakes that's ok for protein shakes.i love Herbalife shakes

ME TO SURGERY TWINS HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR YOU !!!!

Home from surgery. Went well and I was discharged yesterday before noon. Just using Tylenol for pain. Definitely not hungry. I did gain 4 pounds.

Hi friends I had my surgery yesterday. I’m still feeling weak and sore but much better than yesterday. Good luck to everyone having their surgery in the next couple of days. You’re going to do absolutely amazingly.
Congratulations tu you @ Marisol Unda. May you have nothing but beautiful days ahead.

My surgery was originally scheduled for next week on Thursday but the hospital called me last week to tell me that the anesthesiologists wouldn't clear me because I had stents put in last December and would have to wait until a year had passed. So, my surgery has been rescheduled for Dec 13th. Needless to say I was disappointed since I have been working on getting all the appointments etc for almost 2 years, but Dec. is only 4 months away and I expect it will go quickly since I just started school Aug 20th. I am taking Intro to Russian at East Carolina University and so far I love the course. I also signed up for a pottery course. So my time should be filled up and pass quickly. The only drawback is that since the VA is doing my surgery I will have to travel to Huntington, WV in the winter instead of the summer. Here's hoping the weather is not a problem. I hope all of you who have had the surgery are doing well.

EasternNC I am sorry. That must have been disappointing. December is right around the corner and journey is continuing. It hasn’t halted. Big hug friend

Thanks, Marisol. I was disappointed but I took it in stride because it is for my own good. I have to come off the Plavix for a week for the surgery and six months is too soon. So I understand the reason was so psyched for August. I am taking it better than I would have in the past. But I'm 66 now so I am wiser! Pat

Come December we will still be cheering for,you, we'll remember you were once,ours and we will still love you, okay?
