December sleevers!



Recommended Posts

so what is our call sign? Are we the December Divas? or something else?

Great idea on picking a name 2bfit! I think "Diva" sorta discriminates against the boys (if we have any in this forum yet, lol). They could always be the December Dudes. I think we should have a tag line too, like something having to do with end of the year, like out with the old, in with the skinny, or resolution keepers, or something like that. Any suggestions (since I'm not much good at this, lol).

We are all making this decision that will change our lives forever. Cheers to 2012 and beyond!

Hi Everyone. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 13th in Tj at Sante Fe Hospital with Dr. Lopez.< /p>

My everyday has been filled with excitement and dreams of the new me. I am very happy that my dream has finally become reality. Although yesterday my whole day seemed miserable with fears and anxiety. Maybe it is because my husband (whom was going with me) can't go now because of money situations. :-( I know that him being there is only a comfort thing and if a problem were to arise. He couldn't change it either way. I was looking forward to him being there, he and my 2 children have been my support team. :-)

I have a 10 day liquid diet, I will be starting that around the 1st of Dec. I haven't told anyone else because I don't want any negative feedback. When all is over and done I will tell of my wonderful new life. This will be the first time I am giving myself a Christmas gift and might I add the BEST one ever.

I have been overweight most of my life. Although 11 years ago I lost 89 lbs using Metabolife but when they took it off the market. I gained all of the lost weight plus about 20 or more pounds. I am at my highest weight now at 279 and I am 5'7"

My goal weight is 155-160. After I lost all the weight before I was right at 170 and very happy there in a size 8/10 pants. As far as, clothes go, I wear a 2-3xl shirt and 18-22 pants. Depending on the make/brand. I am severly depressed being fat and miserable and can't wait to change this body that I seem to have been stuck with forever. I can't wait to go on vacation with my family, in my new body, and actually be happy to be on vacation. Well I will stop rambling now. I pray safe and happiness for you all.. :-)

Hi Cooper, our stories sound very similar, lol. I too am 5'7 and at my highest weight ever of 267. About 9 years ago i lost 75 lbs and was 170 and loved it, so thats my goal (although i'd be happy just below 200). I too have become severely depressed because I absolutely hate that my weight has gotten this out of control. And I am counting down my days, i spend hours on this site, because it helps so much, and i know its just a matter of a few months that we are all going to be some HOT GUYS AND GALS! Good luck to you!

Hi! My name is Emily and I am getting sleeved in December as well. I have my appointment with the surgeon Tuesday to get a date. The nurse said it will definitely be before Christmas though. I am having it done at Dwight David Eisenhower Medical Center which is a military facility. I am 219 lb and my ultimate goal would be to weigh about 130 pounds. Wish me luck Tuesday!! Can't wait to start this journey with all of you!!!

      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.
