Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015



Recommended Posts

Looks like fb has 2 August groups- one is a closed group with just over 100 members and one must be yours- with 1 member and graphic if a happy stomach?

STUPID QUESTION - if you join a "CLOSED" Facebook group - does it show up on your facebook page that you are a member?

Well.... now see I thought I had done a pretty thorough search. I guess there's no need for two but I'm not sure how to get in a closed group. Can you tell me what it's called?

August 2015 sleevers is how it is listed and says it is a closed group with 129 members.

I like closed or private ( really like private - since no one knows I did this lol)!

Closed groups show up on fb if you do a search for them. You can not see what is posted on the page, BUT can see who are members. But again you need to know about the page to find it.

You know i have been viewing this site for months, (sleeved August 11) and the Overwhelming consensus was that everyone was telling everyone about their surgery. About 5 out of the thousand people I viewed was doing it. I finally see more than one person in a row saying they are not telling anyone.

I am in the minority as well. I am not and have not told anyone. Just my significant other, not even my kids who are living with us know.

I just think it is a private journey, my private journey my. People at work think i am losing weight and complement me everyday but just think i am really working out hard and cutting back on food. And in reality they are right. I work out and walk and run 5 days a week and i am devoted to change. That is all anyone needs to know.

Just my private "two cents". Dont be made at me folks, just what I been feeling for 8 months now...

I went on Facebook but I am clueless as to how to make it a priv as te group or closed. I went to privacy and it says friends only but im not sure how to do anything else. I suppose we should just beg to get in the other one and I can delete mine. What do you think?

Im an August sleever, not hiding it though I totally respect and understand every ones journey. To tell you the truth I wish I hadn't blabbed to every one, but too late. I am not a face booker member, so this is all I have for support, guidance and kinship.

Okay, I found the August 2015 sleevers. Looks like there are lots of people there. I searched under groups and was able to find two or three of them for August 3015 so I will delete mine. I also enjoy this site very much so I'll be between the two now that I figured out how to post. Just dont know how to reply to one persons post specifically.

Ladies, try some bone broth! The collagen and Protein truly helps to heal our sleeves. Is soothing and full of nutrients.

Get any bones that you like. I get bone marrow kind of bones. Let them sit of 30 minutes with a good sola of apple cider vinegar. That helps the bones to give you all the minerals. Then in a slow cooker, onions, garlic, peppers and any other non starchy veggie you like in stocks. Cover with Water. Set in low overnight. I love to have a fresh cup in the morning as breakfast!

Later, I put it in the fridge to cool the fat and skim it. Then is ready to enjoy in between meals. As a gravy to dip your meat while eating. As a sauce to cook veggies or meat and a great snack before bed!

Hello. I am new to this site. I had my surgery on August 7. Will hit 8 weeks tomorrow.

I was also sleeved on 8.7.15. Today I'm down 42 pounds from my highest pre-surgery weight. I'm pretty pleased.

I like the idea of a private FB page, but 100 members seems like a lot. I think this site is s bit confusing when trying to reference or send a message to another member.

I had my surgery on 8/14. I haven't lost any weight in over 2 weeks. I've been eating like I should. I'm getting really nervous.

      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.
