Hey August Sleevers! Put Me On Your List! Aaahroo!



Recommended Posts

Just got the call from the hospital. My check in time is at 6am this Monday!! I knew my day would be 8/6' date=' but wasn't sure if they would take me in the morning or afternoon. Can I tell you how relieved I am that it will be in the AM!!! It will make the day before a little less painful with having to be on only Clear Liquids. I will for sure savor every last drop of my last Protein Shake Saturday night. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I only stay the one night in the hospital. Will hopefully be home and recuperating in my own bed by Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, I hopped on the scale and it looks like of the 20 lbs I gained over the past 3 months, I lost 15 of them, which makes me appreciate the pre op diet that much more.

So excited!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />[/quote']

Congrats! Let us know how you are doing. I was rescheduled from 8/1 to 8/14, so now I'm getting anxious.

I was not told to stop my Protein Shakes on Saturday. But was told that I should not have anything at all after midnight Sunday. Wondering if I missed something?

AaahRoo! I have a surgery date! I will be sleeved at last by Dr. Fernando Otero on August 14' date=' 2012 at John Muir Hospital-Concord Campus CA. I'm very excited of course!! I'm hoping to find other August sleevers to treck the journey with. I'm so ready to get this weighted ball rolling you just don't know...

I've been putting on weight since the birth of my first child 20 years ago. Things really got out of hand when I seperated from the military in 2006. No limits,No mandatory runs,No mandatory weigh-ins makes Gr8rLuv a very big, bad girl :P !! Currently, I'm miserable...My joints-Achy wrists,back,hips,knees and ankles. sleep Apnea-I got it, Cpap-I wear it. I can't wait to get back to my normal...BMI,Weight, Activity,Sleep. I've lost enough time...I'm ready for the RESET button!![/quote']

Well fellow August sleevers.. I a

Also an August sleever but from 2011! Just to give you a little something to look forward to... Since I was where you guys are now a year ago.. This year has been nothing short of amazing. I went from a size 14/16 to in between a size 1 to sometimes 3.. I run.. Which is something I have never been able to do.. Even at my thinnest in high school.. I am in the best shape of my life.. I eat healthy and look forward to my work outs... Your journey is only just beginning but before you know it your life will be so changed and you will be happier than you ever thought possible... Many blessings to all you newbies and may you all have a speedy recovery and a kick a$$ bod in a few short months.. I was at goal in 5 months and have had to change it several times to accommodate all the extra I lost that I never imagined would...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
