GOOD LUCK AND HUGS TO MY DECEMBER SLEEVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS



Recommended Posts

Hi there to all my fellow December sleeve brothers and sisters.

I just wanted to send lots of good luck and hugs to all of you for your ops to go smoothly and for your speedy recovery.

I can honestly say that this is the best ever Christmas gift that I have had.!!!

No more of the stuffing my face at Christmas and New Year’s resolutions to loose the weight. No more thinking “ it will be different next Christmas because I’m going to loose the weight “. No more beating myself up when next Christmas arrives and I’ve not only not lost the weight, but put on even more !!!!!!

I wonder what Christmas 2011 will hold for all of us ??????

Once again good luck and hugs to all of my new December sleeve family

I'm right there with you Angela. My date is Dec 7th and it is strangely reassuring that other are going through the same ordeal. We all have the love/hate relationship with the holidays based around food. It's about time to drop the hate.

Good luck to my Dec Sleevers... May this be a great year for all.

Sleeve date Dec 7th with Dr Vohra.

Ah, thank you so much, Angela!!! I feel the same way! It's funny, I picked the holiday to do this because my entire company shuts down for a week, so it means a ton of work won't be waiting for me when I get back! But, I am soooo happy that I chose this time of year so that every year hereafter I can be grateful that I chose to do this for myself. It's such a milestone time of year because it's so close to the January resolutions, etc, etc, only this year, it REALLY will be different!!! ''

Good luck to all my December sleeve sisters and brothers!

It's going to be so interesting to see where we all are a year from now :-) Keep in touch, and please post after your surgery to let us know how you are doing!!! Best of luck to you, it's just around the corner!

I had my surgery yesterday. I am already at home, pain is minimal but I am taking the liquid pain medicine at at least for next few days. I have no hunger at all and have to remember to drink my 2 ozs every hour for today. I have not had one bit of naseua or gas pains. I do not regret this at and wish all the other December speedy recovers. :rolleyes:

Angela,

Great post and so true! How many times have I thought NEXT Christmas I'll be able to wear my skinny jeans? Good luck to you next week!

Glad you are doing well and have so little pain, Klus! My date is 12/28 and the pain is one of my biggest fears!

Hello! I'm your sleeve sister... having mine on dec 8th! Good luck to us, and I don't think we'll miss out on the holiday treats... we've eaten them for years and already know what they taste like. :)

My sleeve is occuring on the 8th as well, Howdy Sleeve Sisters! I too am nervous, but it's more that I've been preparing up to this point so much on getting approved and getting all of the pre stuff done that now that it's finally here I'm a little spazzed. I am sooooo looking forward to waking up the day after and looking myself over OMG!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
