December Sleeve?

[stephyr 6]

7 more Thursdays. I'm putting these days to good use. I'm going to try to lose as much weight as I can before to make the surgery and recovery as safe, quick and painless as possible! I'm totally stoked tho.

My surgery date is December 1st, my pre-op diet starts before Thanksgiving and I'll only be eating mushy foods around Christmas. We're having Thanksgiving early so I can enjoy it and for Christmas I'm planning on making a nice Soup to bring with me. It's going to be torture but I figure if I can make it through the holidays I can make it through anything! It'll be worth it!

I scheduled my surgery today for December 29th!!!! I cannot think of a better way to start off a new year. For me the holidays mainly involve me working more than usual (restaurant industry) so I won't be missing big family dinners. Plus, January is the slowest time for restaurants and I wouldn't be making much money so I can take off and not feel too guilty. I am so excited about this new chapter in my life!

I had the sleeve on Dec 16, 2013. On Christmas day I had broth Soup and 2 tbsp of cranberry sauce. The smooth kind from a can. I figured it was similar to Jello. I did not feel deprived or sad that day. I knew I was doing the right thing for me. I had other days where I was grieving the loss of food, but not that day. I went to a dinner party and took my own soup. That was hard but I survived. You can do this. It is so worth it.

Thank you! I will probably a bite of cranberry jelly with some turkey broth. I do love me so cranberry jelly from a can. Lol. Now that it's so close to surgery, I cannot wait. It's all I think about! Just ready for it to be here. What are your stats 2 years out? Any wise words?

My thoughts of surgery are all consuming. I seriously don't go an hour with out thinking of it, talking about it, or googling it. I have looked at hundreds of before and after... Looked plastics and a hundred little things that pop up in my head. I tell myself to chill out but knowing I have 40 days until surgery scares me to no end. I want to know it all! Lol I'm a bit of a control freak and it's really showing.

I'm also hopefully looking at a Dec. surgery date. I figure no matter what I do, I'll be on a liquid diet for Christmas. At first, I was a little bummed but right now I'm at the point that hopefully I'll be a new person come next Christmas.

Let's message each constantly! Srsly. My surgery is 50 days away and we give each other tips, ask questions, and be control freaks together!
