February 2017 Sleevers

[DJ's Mom 24]

Just wondering if there are any February 2017 sleevers here yet? I have my 3 month weight check on Monday and was told last month we will look at surgery dates and to plan for a date in February. I'm still struggling with not drinking while I eat but once I catch myself I stop but geesh you wouldn't think I would still be reaching for something to drink at this point. I've been told to make sure I get 21-26 gms of Protein with each meal, only 3 meals no Snacks in between meal and drink plenty of Water. I have a hard time finding a variety of protein meals as I don't do fish other than tuna and only eat pork, beef and chicken. I do the Premiere Protein shakes that have 30 gms but was told not to do them on a regular. With my job, if it wasn't for the shakes, I wouldn't be getting anything in as I rarely have a chance to take an actual lunch.

Anyone else having struggles at this point and scheduled for February surgery?

I started this back in Oct but didn't have a date yet. My date has been set for Valentine's Day. It was initially 2/16 but they had to move it up two days.

Please share your dates, excitement, worries and what knot.

Hi. I am having surgery on February 2 in Tennessee, and can hardly wait.

The board says I am having lap band but I am having the gastric sleeve. When I started researching way back when, I was going to have lab band

Scheduled Feb. 6th, in Tijuana. I'm feeling good about everything, looking for recipes to have on hand when I get some. Soups, etc. Trying to plan ahead and have lots done before I fly out. I'm a little anxious about flying back home after surgery... hope I'm feeling well.

Disneyfan good luck. I too was thinking the band when I first started this back in 2014 and decided after hearing more about it and the sleeve that I would do the sleeve. I had completed everything I needed to except scheduling the surgery and I chickened out plus I had lost 30 lbs and seconded guessed if I even needed the surgery since I was doing so well and they had finally gotten my thyroid under control. Two years and regaining the 30 lost plus an additional 30 here I am again and there will be no changing of the mind. I can't wait.

Littlesuzu good luck to you as well. I have safe travels both ways. If I find any good recipes, I'll try to share them here.

Both my mother & I are having surgery on Feb 13th & my best friend on Feb 14th in Tijuana. I was initially planning on having the surgery alone. When I spoke to my mother about what I was planning on doing, she mentioned she wanted to have the surgery. We were able to get both surgeries scheduled the same day. About a week later I told my best friend about our upcoming surgeries & she informed me she too wanted to have the surgery. I gave her the contact info for the surgical center and they were able to schedule her surgery one day after ours. I'm so blessed to have my mother & best friend, join me on this journey.

Hello. My surgery is scheduled for February 17th! It was suppose to be the 27th of January but I have a 9 month old and 5 year old with my fiancé out of town until 2/15 so I had to reschedule sadly. But I'm super excited and have a couple more weeks to practice eating good food the right way. If anyone decides to start up a "secret" Facebook group let me know since I'm not making it public... yet. so I find it hard to post on the other groups.
