Default Getting sleeved in 6 days!
Hey all!
I've been here on 3FC for years, with many ups and downs and 3 kids besides. :-) I'm really excited and a lotta bit nervous about having gastric sleeve surgery next Monday. I'm in the all-liquids pre-op diet right now (super fun) and have lost 20lbs from my high weight.

Do you have any tips for this WLS newbie? Things to stock up on, take to the hospital, things you wish you would have known?

See you around, I'll be here a lot more!

Get samples of different proteins not sure about with sleeve but with RNY your tastes are funny for a bit

Hi Gale I just came across this thread. We have been in check-ins/weigh-ins together. No advice, but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery.
