August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I'm an august sleever! August 18th with Dr. Alvarez in piedro negres Mexico! Bought my plane ticket today and getting very excited! I'm 5'9" and weigh between 215-220lbs. I would be happy to lose 45lbs. Thrilled to lose 60-70lbs! No pre-op diet for me but I am trying NOT to have last supper syndrome this far out (making excuses to eat what I shouldn't because I know I won't be able to after surgery).

I'm an August Sleever!!! :) Scheduled for August 13th by Dr. McMahon in Seattle, WA.

I'm 27 years old and have 100-125 lbs to loose.

I'm beginning the anxious stage of pre-op, but I have a partner in crime. My husband just had the Roux-en-Y done by Dr. McMahon 3 weeks ago.

EEEKKKK!! Just looked at the calendar and it's only 26 days until the party gets started...and I'm going FIRST. wahhhh!!! ;(

I'm starting to get a few butterflies every time I think about it, but as I'm determined as ever. Heck, I found out yesterday that we got a contract on our house and we will close on Aug 9th. Perfect excuse to back out and reschedule, but I'm going for it! Looks like I will be busy packing before surgery, so maybe I won't have too much time to get anxious.

Let's do this!

I found a great app on Google Play called Body Monitor. It lets you track your height, weight, body fat and body measurements. It stores all the ones you mentioned, including extra ones for your legs and arms. I like it because as soon as you enter your measurements, it shows you how much you've lost. It has a calendar interface so you can scroll back and see where you started very easily. If you're comfortable with tech, you might want to check it out.

Hi all! I am the very last of the month I see! August 31 with Dr. Kelly in MX. Not a friendly office environment so time off work is difficult - I have to use the labor day holiday for one of my days. Sure hope I'm up to returning ASAP because I don't have a choice.

I feel so behind reading all of your posts' date=' I am truly not thinking about it nearly so much and had not planned to be ordering the Protein or packing until a week or so out! Or in my case ordering online as I sit in my bed post-op! :)

Not sure yet if my husband will be joining me, I waiver on wether or not I even want him to, just that I want him to want to!

I'm glad to meet you all![/quote']

I'm Dr Kelly 8/23. I will be going alone as well, and I'm ok with that! Having the Labor day holiday is why I picked my date too. 1 less vacation day!

      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.
