It has been a whirlwind! December 16th here I come.

Thank you! I am. Excited for us all. I think we have made a great decision.

The holidays may be difficult, but I think if we stay positive and focus on our goals, it will be just fine. And we are all here to support each other...we are all in the same situation. I too am single, so I don't do a ton of cooking. That helps me for sure!

Sorry it took so long to get back with you all. I was having issues getting on the site on my phone. It is great to meet you all! Have a good night

I have my surgery date set for Dec. 15......very excited but scared at the same time.

Welcome to the December group! I totally understand being both excited and scared at the same time. I am doing my best to note all of the positives of this lifestyle journey I am embarking upon to help dispell my moments of fear. Today's positive is that I have already been losing some weight. Today I found myself hitching my pants up all day long. Okay, so a little annoying at times, but a great positive as well.

I have my surgery date set for Dec. 15......very excited but scared at the same time.

Hi Christine! That is awesome. I just found out a week ago that my surgery has been moved to a day sooner. So I will be going in on the 15th. I am also nervous and excited. I would love to hear how it goes for you.

Hi All of my December Sleeve Buddies!

I just wanted to share how blessed I am feeling this week. My sister showed up at my door with a

tub full of Bariatric goodies. There were small bowls, tiny spoons and forks, popcicle molds,

protien shaker bottles, food storage containers that can be divided up by ounces, a journal, and arecipe book.

Even though I have been making changes to my lifestyle, I have sort of been afraid to look into this kind of stuff because at times I still don't think it is truly going to happen.

Is anyone else feeling this way?

I worry that at the last moment my surgery will be cancelled. I don't know why but I cant see it happening. I'm preparing for it and in a lot of ways I know what to expect but I don't see it for me.

My surgery is December 16th as well. I'm so scared, mostly of failure....again! Good luck to everyone and please keep updating. It's encouraging to know others who are going through the same changes and challenges.

Bayougrl,

Welcome to the December 2015 group! I totally understand the nerves, but I also know that to have made this decision is not for the "weak at heart", so just remember you are much stronger than you think.

I will see my NUT on Monday and will be finding out what my Pre and Post Op diets will look like. I am nervous, but determined to give it my all.

Please keep me posted on how your journey goes.
