December sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Well I am hoping my fellow Dec 2011 sleevers are having ajoyeous holiday and still rocking those sleeves. Would love to hear some updates!!!

I lost 160# in total now and maintaining at 147-150 range. I had plastic reconstructive surgery for excess skin and feel like a million bucks. My life has become so full and fun, cup runneth over... Yes there are life struggles but everything is easier when you feel good.

This sleeve is the best thing I ever did for myself...well...maybe my college education was the best but this was right up there!!!

It is the best decision I ever made. I didn't reach my goal by I'm happy with where I am. I stay within 3 lbs of my lowest weight since surgery having lost 65 lbs. I still struggle to stay away from the carbs. Having surgery on Thursday to repair 2 hernias. One had been repaired twice before. I was much heavier then so I'm hoping now that I'm thinner the repair will work. While the surgeon is in there he is going to remove the excess skin. My daughter is getting married in May and I will be rocking my mother of the bride dress!

Had my sleeve Dec. 21st 2011. Still not at my goal weight but I'm still working out and eating my Protein. Just got diagnosed with a bad gallbladder so having it taken out in two weeks. Hopefully I can get back to my workouts quickly!!!! Curious if anyone else ended up having to take their gallbladders out post-surgery?

      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.
