This is my first post. I will be sleeved on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. I feel well prepared and am not nervous but excited. My surgery is covered by insurance and having it performed by Dr. Eagon, St. Louis Missouri. I am down 11 pounds from my October 2012 appointment. I am using fitbit one to track my sleep, exercise, and calories in and out. I found Propel Water to be amazing. I'm not much of a water drinker and finding this water has been a key to helping me get my fluids in. I will drink my first New whey liquid Protein to see how I like it. It has 42 gms of protien, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of carbs in 3.8 oz of Fluid. I'm having difficulty finding out how to post from my ipad/iphone app. I can see all posts and did reinstall the app in portrait. I have told a handful of people that I am having this surgery but am reluctant to share with most as I'm a bit embarrassed that I couldn't lose this weight on my own and am not looking for anyone's negative opinions about the surgery. Preop weight: 241 Goal: 150
I am committed to following all the rules post op and jumping around on my calories in so that I can "trick" my body into not stalling much. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and journeys as it has helped me develop my own plan as I get ready to be sleeved. Thank you EVERYONE!! I would like to buddy up with a woman who was sleeved in 2012 and weighed approx. 240 pounds pre-sleeve and would share this journey with me.
