August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[jorsea 54]

So excited for everyone....almost the whole group is sitting on the losers bench. It amazes me that we all have the same surgery and such different stories. I know we will all lose at a different rate and those who start with a lower BMI usually?? lose slower. I guess when everyone else is losing high numbers its like why is that not me...Dang it! I am one pound away from 100 lb lost. But only 12 of that is really since surgery. I know I have done great and I feel fantastic. Just wanted those big numbers like everyone I keep reading about. My personal goal is 125 bls so I am only 45 lbs from goal. I think a realisitc goal to get there would be around Christmas time. I am going to keep doing what I do best and that is watching what goes in and what else I am doing to help me get there. I am two weeks post op today. My Dr said not physical fitness till first post op appointment which is for Sept 6. Today I am going to go and do a bit more school shopping...3 boys chomping at the bit for the rest of the supplies.

My energy level is good, but I know I am not getting all the fluids in, and tomorrow is the day to start eating food. I wonder the balance? More food better Protein or more Water the best bet. I know that I will get the answers I just need to continue to be positive and work hard.

I'm sleeved!!! I've struggled a bit with nausea but haven't gotten sick.... Thank the Lord! I'm finally getting Clear Liquids today and if I'm able to urinate on my own I may be released this evening!! Hope all is well with my fellow 8/27 sleevers, as well as those who went before us and those to come!

Tomorrows my big day!! So nervous - did anyone contemplate backing out?

Yes I did!! I even started thinking to myself 'Im not thatttt big' . But I am :/ My Doctor even asked me just before they put me under the anaesthetic if I had changed my mind & I blurted out YES!!! He actually had to stop what he was doing and ask me a second time. I of course went through with it but I truly know how you feel. Its so scary but believe me you will be fine!! These Doctors know what they are doing & the pain isnt so bad. Before you know it you will be back at home complaining about the liquid post op diet lol (like I am right now). Plus you have all us here cheering you on. You can do this!! Keep thinking about how great it will feel throwing out you fat clothes!! Keep us updated Sending prayers your way xx

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon . How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

Glad to hear that you had a great surgery, Dr, A and his staff are so kind and take good care of us Glad to hear that you are doing well !

I'm scheduled tomorrow with Dr. Yu in Houston, Texas. For some reason I show up on some lists and not on others. Anyway, good luck to everyone being sleeved tomorrow.

yes sometimes its been very hard for us to keep lists up as using them n Facebook and here, and sometimes one of us(Me) dont catch them. We have had a huge list over 200 now I believe, so forgive us when that happens....I know when I went in for surgery i sort of lost track on a few and then some days been so tired havent kept up as well...but your still part of us all we miss, just email us, or on most ours you can add your name to it also
