Are you getting your Protein?

Trying to but not making it 100%.

Could be why you're so tired...remember, Protein first.

Hi Kassandra! My name is Kelsi and I’m 24 yrs old and I’m scheduled for the sleeve on 6/24. (So nervous). I’m 5’7” and 285 lbs. Best of luck with your surgery!! :)

Surgery twin!!! I’m scheduled for 6/24 too! I’m 26, 5’3 started at 226 pounds currently 213... diagnosed with hypertension and mild sleep apnea! My doctor put me on a one week liquid diet that I’m starting next week. I’m so excited but trying not to obsess over the wait of insurance approval 😩
I plan to check in tomorrow or Thursday on the status of the approval; it was sent to CareFirst BCBS MD on Friday 6/7. Best of luck to EVERYONE having surgery soon!!!

So I have 8 days until surgery and it's starting to feel sooooo real. Im nervous, excited, happy, and terrified all rolled into one big ball of nerves. This liquid diet is way easier than I expected it to be though so that makes a difference.

Hi lovelies! Sorry I've been absent - I've had a lot to do to get things ready! But my day is almost here... my RNY is tomorrow at 1pm. Making the switch over to Clear Liquids only soon... this is starting to feel so very real now. But I feel ready for it. And I'm extremely grateful that my clinic has prepared me so well for this day!

I have still been reading everyone's journeys on here in my absence - I hope those of you who are struggling post-op have a speedy recovery! We've all got this! 🤗 Go June Bunch, go!

I bet you didnt sleep a wink last night lol. I'm so excited for you love! Make sure to update us as soon as you feel up to it.

Anyone else here have the sleeve June 4? I’d love to hear how you’re feeling and how you’re managing “meals”, Fluid intake, Protein drinks.

I was sleeved June 3rd and am so exhausted. I moved to full liquids yesterday which according to my plan is only Protein Shakes but it was hard to drink even one down. I am supposed to do at least 2 shakes per day. I am trying again today

Somehow I got a full night's sleep, I don't know how! I'm very thoroughly cleansed from the special soap, and leaving for the hospital in a few minutes. 3 hours from now I'll be in for my procedure...! It's beyond surreal!

May your surgeon's hands be steady, may you remain calm and at peace and may you awaken to a brand-new life and future!

DS on June 7, yesterday was my first day really tracking Protein and I made it- was sure all drinks first part of day had protein managing day pain with Tylenol and just using the “good stuff” at night to sleep - it really it about refilling and refilling and refilling a medicine cup and making each one a goal ALL DAY LONG everyday the pain is a little better.
Who has a tasty option for b complex cause the one I got is awful
Anyone else having to do blood thinner injections?

Girl yes. If I'm freaking out while they're prepping me I'm going to ask them to give me something to calm me down. The last thing I want to ruin that day for me is my anxiety

[Batty2000 177]

I'm just ready to get to my surgery date...i'm sooooo excited [emoji3]

Cheering for you!

Hi-

Glad you are doing so well! I am on 12 days of blood thinner injections, about half way through. Not too bad- I just make sure to do them first thing in the morning to get them over with. I really haven't had much bruising or anything so far.
