August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I've got 32 days to go and i think i'm becoming obsessed. I have made the decision to no tell anyone, only hubby, kids know. Last night i had a dream that a cousin of mine, that i rarely speak to, called me and needed to talk to me. She came to my house to tell me she was have the sleeve done. Mind you, she is at most 10lbs over and probably wears a size 8, never been overweight and was back in her jeans in a month after having kids. She told me she didn't want me to be jealous, so she was telling me herself. She said the Dr agreed to do it so she didn't get fat.

AArrr!!! woke up in a funk!! I know I'm doing the right thing, but i hope this kind of thing doesn't continue. Could make for a long month.

i believe we all go through these different dreams and worry, it seems to be normal....its a big change in our lives.

I have choose to only tell a handful of people mostly my husband, kids and there spouses...I dont want or need any of the negative or judgmental talk about this...I am working at trying to stay very positive and work hard at this....its a roller coaster of feelings but there is a great supportive group here thats all going through it also

It is a secret group so no one can tell your in the group or see what you post or comment on, here is what Facebook says,

This is set for a secret group, so that helps for all not wanting information out and just for here. This is the description of the different kinds of groups,

What are the privacy options for groups?

When you create a group, you can choose who can see the group and the things people post there, including comments, photos and files uploaded to the group. The three privacy options you have are:

Open: Anyone on Facebook can see and join the group. Open groups will appear in search results and all content that members post (ex: photos, videos and files) is visible to anyone viewing the group. Friends can see that you've joined an open group in their news feed.

Closed: Anyone on Facebook can see the group name, its members and people invited to join the group, but only members can see posts in the group. To join a closed group, a friend needs to add you, or you can ask to join. Your friends can see that you've been invited or added to a closed group in their news feed.

Secret: These groups cannot be found in searches, and non-members can’t see anything about the group, including its name and member list. The name of the group will not display on the profiles (timelines) of members. To join a secret group, you need to be added by a member of the group.

We are trying to make sure all that wants added to the FB gets add, it is a little process where its secret but add me or futerskinnypants send a message and we will work on it if we have missed someone that wants on it

      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.
