Recommended Posts

Ok my November Sleevers...we are gonna shake things up a bit. We have 3, count them 3 big holidays coming up and ending with the start of 2013. Now some of us are getting sleeved at the beginning of November while others are more towards the end of the month. Regardless of when we get it done, the point is we are. So that being said...here's my challenge for the November Sleevers, well 3 challenges really.

Challenge #1

~ Current Weight (CW):

~ Goal Weight (GW):

* Just keep track of your measurements if you don't want to post them here. And just update how many inches you have lost on your weigh in dates. This will let you see your progress even if the damn scale isn't cooperating. LOL.

I posted this for the November Sleevers so that we can keep in contact with each other and stay motivated. But I post one in the post-op folder too.

Ok my November Sleevers!! I know there are a few challenges out there already, but I thought it would be nice to have one rocking for those of us that had our sleeves done in November. This way we track with people on a closer timeline with our own. Feel free to use it or not. Totally up to you. Hugs to you my November Sleeve family. Happy holidays and happy losing!!

December Challenge: ends on 12/25/12.

~ Surgery Date (SD): 11/20/12

~ Starting Weight (SW): 320

~ Current Weight (CW): 297

~ Goal Weight (GW): 275, with an ultimate goal of 270 cuz it would be a nice belated birthday present for myself (birthday is 12/21).

* Bonus: Inches Lost. Haven't measured myself yet. Was waiting for my 1 week follow-up on 11/28 to do that.

Tally I am definitely in! Should we set up the criteria for the areas we should be measuring so we are all measuring the same areas? This will lead to less discrepancies...thoughts? Otherwise, I will post my stats shortly...

That sounds like a plan. I was gonna measure my upper arms, bust, waist, hips and thighs.

Ok...I haven't measured as yet, but wanted to post my stats nonetheless:

Surgery Date: 11/19/2012

Starting Weight Preop: 256

Weight on date of surgery: 240

Current Weight: 233.4

Goal Weight by January 1: 220

Goal Weight: 165

I'm at a stall already...no scale movement since 11/26/2012. My NSV is that I fit comfortably in a size 18! I honestly don't ever remember wearing size 18! I'm pleased so far! Best decision I ever made! Hope all of you are doing well!

      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.
