Please add klyn mcmickell on facebook too "mczoo33"....One of us will add you. I have made her administrator too so she can invite and add too when I'm not available to get online. Sorry its a pain in the ass but I know people want their privacy.

okay guys, i got readytolose in the group....So please add me and then message me letting me know who the heck you are and then I will personally add you all. I think that might be the only way to keep the group closed and private. If anyone knows differently please let me know

Hm....yea maybe because its private. If you don't have me added, add me and see if you can get to the group from my page.....if you don't mind let me know how you make out so i can figure it out. This is my first group so im not exactly sure how that works.

Hey my lovies! Okay so ... I am going to be creating the new list shortly. But, in the mean time...if you have facebook (which you should!) I have created a group for us on there. http://www.facebook.com/groups/486344818061300/ There is the link. Some of you i dont know by name but if you wish to be invited add me and I can invite you to the group. I figured that might be easier for some of us to communicate and we can have live chats there. I can also create events and give shout outs to the new sleevers as we go through the process. We can share photos and stuff as well. I have it set to "secret" so no one can see what you post or even that you joined the group. (In case anyones surgery is secret) Hopefully that link works. QOTD- Since we are now a big 'ol (soon to be small) sleeve family----lets share some information about ourselves!!! Name- Age- (if you wish) Location- highest weight/current weight/ goal weight- Anything else you'd like to share? ______ Name- Jenn Age- (if you wish) 27 Location- New Jersey-About 10 minutes from delaware. Home town is 30 mins from atlantic city. highest weight/current weight/ goal weight-280/269.6/140 Anything else you'd like to share? I work in home health care. I take care of my moms boyfriends mother, and a sweet little boy who has CP. (i've been working with him for 6 years). A boyfriend of 6 years, my Mom is my best friend. I have the best friends in the world, most of them are from elementary school!!!! I don't have any human kids yet but I have 2 fur kids- Leila (pug) & Jaycee (black lab) ...they are the loves of my life and I can't wait to lose tons of weight and start walking at the park with them every morning!!!They're going to love Mommy's new self!!!

Just try to calm yourself down , no point in worrying as long as you have confidence in your self and your doctor! We're all here for you!

Just keep telling yourself it'll all be okay and remind yourself of the reasons your doing it. Have you researched your doctor and his stats? I hear we won't have hair problems as long as we have the protein and vitamins ...and we will Don't worry so much Your reading my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES!!!! lol Shirts yes! disney was my first thought ..not sure where everyone lives but its definitely more fun then the center of the US with corn crops lol lol, i forgot to change it back. thats the only way I can see when i'm trying to update it! lol carrot soup sounds AMAAAAAAZING right now. I would killlllll for that right now. fkn protein shakes ....grrrrr!!! Congrats!!!and welcome!!! I will add you to the list soon! YOU ROCK!!!!

I just wanted to check in and give you guys an updated list. If you don't have a definite date yet, and maybe gave me 2 dates then I haven't added you yet. Just let me know when you get your definite date so i dont have to go through the list and try to find you. Vix-I see your date changed but i can't find your original date....am I blind or did i not add you the first time ? lol If I did not add you yet...and you have a date let me know and I will add you I can't believe we're getting so incredibly close! Watching the ticker go down is insane! I'm officially packed . I will be putting my bags in the car this weekend haha! yes i'm not leaving til next week. but why not . The pre op diet for me is going pretty well with the exception of today. I did cheat and eat 4 fig newtons i feel like theres a bag of cement in my stomach....and since I haven't "eaten" in 4 days....it actually hurt to chew. but my dumb ass chewed and chewed. That was my one screw up and it wont happen again...I see how crappy it made me feel and I'm over it. It wasn't worth the tummy ache or the crappy feeling i got. Lesson learned. QOTD-How many of you would be interested in a meeting event in a year or two if we're all still posting together on this board? I was thinking we could all donate a certain small amount of money, rent out a space...Have a nice sleep appropriate dinner, maybe around the same time as a walk/5k type of thing, we could vote on a place to have it. Just an idea.....but, i'm in ! Perhaps- aug 2013 , or aug 2014!?

Sounds like you need potassium. Call your surgeons office and ask if you can take some potassium pills or if you can have a banana....or a piece of banana each day.

**** happens. Don't beat yourself up over it. I think everyone i know (that had this diet) cheated atleast once. Some more than others...One of my good friends had tuna and freaked out over it...but it was okay...even though she was sick ALOT throughout the pre op diet she moved on, completed the diet and lost 33 lbs. It'll be okay. Just remember next time you want to nibble on something make sure its ice....or a frozen protein drink. Or sugar free Gum. Remember how you felt when you "cheated". It made you feel bad and it wasn't worth it. But ...its just a piece of cheese......lesson learned We're all in this together, just post and they'll be someone here to tell u , no you don't want no damn cheeeseeeee! lol <3

Debshops.com (DEB) has 50% off their clearances this week. I just came from the store. got a bunch of stuff for my surgery vacation after all...we will be going through sizes like crazy. I was thinking of this. On weight watchers they have a sharing page on their board i forget what its called but its like a trading thread. Like I say..." i have size 14's ...does anyone need them..." then you post and you say yes, i do! I need 14's and I have 16's for anyone that needs them!" I went to goodwill yesterday for the first time. I got a few post op things. I didn't have any bad dreams yet, thank goodness. I had one about the endoscopy the other night. Doc called to say everything was okay. I think its just your subconscious . Your secretly nervous and thats where its coming from. Make sure you trust your doctor and feel comfy. This is a huge change but it will be worth it. We're all here for you. GREAT ANALOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!! I think you might already be on my facebook but mines www.facebook.com/jaybeevsg I'm not sure if they do surgery so young but you can post a thread on the board under pre op questions. Good luck!!!! I'm sure its nothing, I'll be thinking of you! HEY GUYS!!!!!!!! Okay so....I will be adding people to the list by tonight. I didn't forget about you all.... I forgot my computer yesterday at my mom's so i'm just getting it back.. I'll catch up and post tonight -My update- Today is day 3 of the pre op diet. I feel wonderful. The pain that i've had in my side on and off for months is gone!!!! Has been since i started pre-preop. So far with the Prepreop I'm down 9.4 lbs. With just the liquid pre op i'm down 4 lbs some odd oz's I think. The funny thing is....My bf and i weighed in sunday night....we weighed exactly the same. We weighed in last night....EXACTLY THE SAME! and this morning.....yep you guessed it! THE SAME!!!! I even tested the scale to make sure it was okay!

Just wanted to say.....i love you!!! i love you all!!! I was planning on going to bed around 10 but started surfing the net (do people still say that??) and dreaming of all the cute outfits. I'm locked in here for the night so i wont go in the kitchen. My boss got chicfila for dinner and came home (i do home care) and said Jenn do you want a nugget...i gave her a dirty look and she said omg im so sorry! i laughed and said thats ok....your lucky the mood swings haven't hit me yet!!! lol so far so good....16 days seems like an eternity but as I always say...one day at a time. with that being said....I'm so proud of you all! Seems like a lot of us started today or have already started. we're all in this together! so, LETS DO THIS!!!!! Cheers!!!! (go on, drink your protein drink !!! lol) Goodnight my sleevies! :wub:

Hey all. I started the preop diet today. So far so good. No headaches....no shiznits. I gave myself a schedule...every 2 hours. I strayed away a little and forgot my 415, that turned into 530 but whatever I feel great for not eating all day. And, you know what I realized? Since i started the pre-preop diet (meal replacement) I havent had the normal side pain that I always have. 1 day down, 15 to go.

I'm up 2 lbs today so im not too happy but i'm going to do my best for the next couple days til i start my pre op. I'd love to be down 5 lbs . Then it won't look like I gained so much. QOTD- What is your goal weight, and how did you pick this goal weight? -I started out in february at 260 when I sent in my paperwork. I thought it was 250 but i checked my paperwork last night and it said 260.

My GOAL is 140. i always had 150 in my mind but i figure why not shoot for more, since this is a once in a life time opportunity. Of course my goal could change If im happy at 150 or even 160.....or maybe i'll want to go to 120, but for now....140 is my goal I always look at mybodygallery.com its a pretty cool site to see different body shapes and sizes.

Welcome all new comers! I will add you tomorrow to the list I'm so stoked. I worked with my boyfriend today at a vitamin store in the new castle mart, in delaware. A lady next door at one of the stores was helping me look at scrubs and she said what size do you wear? I said actually I'm not sure what im looking for because im having weight loss surgery in 2 weeks! It felt so good to say that, and she was super excited for me. She begged me to come back in after the surgery and keep her updated! So, QOTD-----HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU TAKING OFF FROM WORK? AND, IS ANYONE USING THE FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (i'm trying to get info on it from work but the girl thats supposed to be helping me is dumb as dirt) . I'll be almost 2 weeks out when I go back, I'm only doing "half days" ...which is 6 or 7 hours to me. Then I'm taking an extra full week off from my other patient....So I'll be 3 weeks out when I go back full time . I hope this is enough. My friend was going to take just the 2 weeks off but she decided to take more than that. (a couple weeks more)

My friend is having surgery the day after me (aug 9). She said she went today to get her "filter" put in. I've never heard of this. she said its to prevent blood clots? She said "you'll probably get yours through a shot after your surgery " what is she talking about? what is a filter? i haven't heard about a filter yet. I thought i knew what was going on

Are you due for your TOM? I had that a couple days ago and aunt flow just arrived (thank god , now i wont have it for surgery!!)....sometimes changing your diet can bring it on. It's probably just your body adjusting. Maybe try some tylonal (or whatever your doc advises), heating pad, hot bath?

What a successful thread if i do say so myself!! QOTD-How/When did you decide you wanted to have bariatric surgery? Why did you choose the sleeve? I was driving my mom to the airport one day in february and I was complaining that I was starting to gain back some of the weight I had lost on weight watchers. She said, Why don't you start looking into the lapband, you've struggled with your weight for so long, its time to just take care of it once and for all. SO, I did....but as i was researching the lapband I found the sleeve. I decided that the lapband wasn't for me. What if i had lost my insurance? Would I have to keep that thing in me forever? If i take it out would I gain back all the weight I had lost???? I need something that doesnt require maintence like that. So, Here I am! I found the sleeve and after doing my research I really love the idea of the sleeve!

So hard to say since everyones on a different diet. My shakes are very low in carbs, only 100 calories and no added sugar (muscle milk light) they gave me a list of ones to choose from and this is the one i chose. they are very good. im unofficially on pre op too. (pre pre op as i like to call it, i start tuesday) im just doing meal replacements...been on it since....last wednesday? I lost almost 6 lbs but aunt flow arrived today, which is great now i wont have it for surgery.....but i always gain during this time so hopefully i lose more before tuesday. Make sure the soups are low sodium as well so you don't retain the water weight . i hear banana's aren't good ...not for the beginning stages of post op either, i guess it is because of the carbs. I've been having a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch...2 sf jellos in between b & L and L&D and then having a light dinner....salad usually....although last night i went out to dinner and didn't stick to plan. Can't wait for post op!!!!!!!! Welcome and good luck I'll add you tomorrow!!!

30 days???? geeeeeez. Good luck!!! Welcome to the party!!

If you don't see your name on the list please feel free to tell me!!! Well folks, we are getting close! It's 5 days til I start the pre op diet, and 2 weeks 6 days til surgery.....YES!!!! Less than 3 weeks!!!! Okay, so question of the day!!! My friend was going to have surgery. She ended up losing so much on pre op (33 lbs) (244-211) that she and the doctor decided she could probably get to goal herself. (plus the fact that she was terribly sick the entire time, and is allergic to the nausea patch) Anyway she didn't go through with it and now shes regretting it, a couple months later. They won't honor the price that was originally given to her. So she was considering Mexico.....heres where you guys come in....a lot of you are going to mexico....the one doctor she checked with ...after the financing would have been about 8700 cash then the financing 10% and a plane ticket to get to the west coast. I saw a lot of the sleeve prices at 4400 and such, what are the prices? does your doctor do financing? How much is your TOTAL cost??? AND, non mexico sleevers......are you insurance or self pay? I am self pay because my insurance (BCBS carefirst) wont cover it. Or DOESNT cover it. So I was lucky enough to catch a "promotion" of 8000 so they could get surgeries in to be a center of excellence. I'm traveling from new jersey to myrtle beach. its a 10 hour drive but i know it'll be worth it!!!!
