October 18th!!! My new birthdate!



Recommended Posts

My actual birthdate is December 5th, but you better believe that next year I will be celebrating my life TWO times. October 18th will forever be a celebratory day for me.

My coordinator called me and told me the news last week and I've been playing 1018 for the past couple of days. It hasnt hit just yet, but its definitely going to be one of my staple lotto numbers too!

I officially started this process at the end of June, so it's only been 3 steady months, but it feels like I've been chasing this surgery forever. I'm happy that it's almost here and am continuing to prepare for it by doing my pre pre-op diet (self prescribed). I'm not doing liquid shakes or anything, but I'm exercising and paying close attention to what I've been consuming. I probably wont lose a ton of weight until I begin the official liquid diet two weeks before my surgery, but I'm hoping to begin the process of conditioning my mind and body to welcome this new change. I'm no longer drinking with my meals (ugh, it's so hard), and I'm upping my Protein and cutting back on carbs (ugh, that's hard too!). I'm satisfying cravings by having very small portions, and it seems to be working. I hope to lose at least 5 lbs before my pre-op liquid diet since that's what i gained during this process. If I can lose those 5 and get back down to 250 in two weeks, I'll be satisfied.

I salute you my fellow October 2011 sleevers! I look forward to sharing this experience with you!

We rock!

I will for sure give you an update before you go in! :)

I got my surgery date a week ago and somehow that week just FLEW by and now I'm only 2 weeks away! Hopefully the next 2 weeks will fly by as well (especially since I'll be on a liquid diet).

You're right, this is really exciting! I just can't wait!

So glad you joined us, Kay! I have to admit, the nana with the boobs totally made me laugh out loud!!! :lol: So exciting! You are only two days before me...I'm on the 20th! Like you, I've been so obsessed with the surgery, but it's been over 6 months for me....will be so glad when the waiting is over and we'll be on the other side! I don't have to do a preop diet, either, but I'm going to do a quasi one. The more I can help my surgeon, the better off I'll be!!

So 'cited for all of us!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
