LOVE PINK is the slogan for Victorias Secret PINK, a store that I always loved but couldn't fit into before I had the surgery... My goal was to be able to shop there after I got sleeved and now it's one of my favorites.

Where is OTR Sleever? I've been wondering about that name....

I'm pretty sure his name means over the road sleever' date=' he's a truck driver. (I only know that because my bf is one too) ;)[/quote']

Sorry ladies, I refrained from posting in this thread because it was in the "powder room". Not that that has ever stopped me before.

But yes, I am an Over The Road truck driver.

I'm even considering starting a thread updating my location so that I might be able to meet a few of you fellow sleevers. Haven't done it yet because I'm afraid it might appear a bit pretentious.

FIrebelle10

I'm a career firefighter (lieutenant) and since I'm a lady I'm a belle. 10 is my soccer number for college (1000 years ago).

Plus I did the 60 mile breast cancer walk and this was our team name. Imagine a group of 20 something year old guys walking for breast cancer wearing pink t-shirts calling themselves

FIREBELLES ( they were just thinking fire bells)

To all sleevers past..present... And future

YOU GOT THIS!

I think that is a good idea. I don't get a chance to meet other sleevers as I'm from a smallish town with no bariatric surgeon/support group etc. I think you should do it.

That'd be cool. I'm in Albuquerque. Most truck drivers roll through the "Big I" at some point...

I went to my friend's graduation dinner and saw people I hadn't seen in over a year. I heard a couple of women who I knew, but don't KNOW, whispering about who I was. One of them said "Ohhh that's Kendra!" Wow she lost a whole lot of weight."I thought it was pretty funny so I changed my screen name.

It is used to be MsKendraHL.

      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.
