Hello we are a group of August 2012 Sleevers Mentoring 2013 Summer Sleevers. This is a more indivudal group on facebook...its secret so you can feel free to post and talk about anything and have the support of a close knit group....as August 2012 sleevers we put a group on fb to be able to communicate a little more rapid. It has been a tremendous help for us in that group and so now we have started another group to give back and mentor this years summer 2013 sleevers. In our goup we share it all nothing is TMI orto be asked and discussed, its been a safe place to do that....
We would like to invite any 2013 summer Vertical Sleevers to join us....this is a secret group so you will need to contact me here and I will send you more information to get you set up....
Congratulations 2013 Summer sleevers on your surgery.

Have you ever pondered on that little things that can change so much in your life over time?
Well I was having my Soup tonight, I have always used a Tablespoon for Soups, cereals etc, Why? Well my grandfather did it. Well Why did he? cause he was older and shaky and it helped him get some to his mouth unlike a teaspoon he would loose most of it before it reached his mouth.
So I was thinking how so many things are like that that changes how we eat and don't even realize it.
The Bigger plates that we fill heaping at times. Bigger cups. Larger Serving sizes.
The fast food restaurant on most corners, so when your driving home from work and tired and still got to go home and make dinner, makes it easy to drive through and grab those fatty unhealthy choices for dinner.
The kitchen appliances that that grind and chop that we some times use for more convenience,yet burn less calories then chopping or preparing by hand.
The apple or potatoes peeler you pop in pop out, or make fries with and drop in a deep fat fryer that's faster then baking.
The bread machine that makes all that bread we love homemade. Yet don't have to need and work at, not much calories burned there.
The frying pan, with grease to fry supper fast instead of baking and heating up the house.
We live in a disposable world where we can throw away our dishes and to-go bags.
We have the dishwasher that helps cut our cleaning time (therefore less burning of calories).
We live a world of preservatives and more fat in foods.
My Grandfather had bacon, eggs, pancakes and toast with jelly every morning for Breakfast all his life, and lived on pork, beef and potatoes, and I don't know if I ever seen him eat a green salad. He had huge deserts or pie or cake or ice cream most nights for desert. He drank 2 six packs of real coke everyday. He was the skinniest man I knew at maybe 120 lbs for his 5 10 height.
The difference was he was a farmer, and he may have at all that for breakfast, but he was up and had feed the chickens and pigs, feed 100 head of cows, milked 2-6 cows, changed the Water in two or three fields, all before he had that breakfast.
Don't get me wrong, I am not wiling to give up many of life's pleasures in my life either, but we must put more responsible choices of talking a walk cause we have more time since that dishwasher is doing what would burn calories
We let the little things like a spoon in our lives become something that can change so much. I need to move back to the regular size spoon.
Pretty soon I will be told to use the baby spoon with my meals.
For me, its time to think about the little things like the spoon that I have allowed to get me off my path, change it, and get back on that path for a good healthy life

I am so amazed two more days and all the august sleevers is done....but we wont be complete till we have the rest of the next two days done, so here is our list for tomorrows sleevers....we wish you all the very best and speedy recovery and waiting for you on the losers bench.

We have had a huge list over 200 now I believe, so forgive us when that happens....I know when I went in for surgery i sort of lost track on a few and then some days been so tired havent kept up as well...but your still part of us all we miss, just email us, or on most ours you can add your name to it also

I'm sitting at Mi Doctor Hospital waiting for my turn and listening to music on the laptop. I'm last to go in of the 4 of us here today. Leprechaun is first! The hospital is clean and the staff are super nice. I met with our surgeon Dr. Lopez and he was ready for questions but I told him Leprechaunmomma already had that covered and I'd get the answers from her, hee hee. Last night the broth and popsicles were like a buffet with soothing tea after. I don't feel deprived or very hungry at all. The popsicles were pureed cantaloup melon frozen on a stick , heaven to my tastebuds! I'm missing my family but loving this trip. Yesterday we sat by the fountain out front of the hotel and watched traffic. The breeze was light and cool and the sun felt great. I really want a palm tree but customs won't let me Good luck and best wishes on a speedy recovery to all of us going in today. I'll check back in after surgery.

Actually the stomach is healed between 14 and 21 days after surgery.....it does not make for thebest food choices but she isn't playing Russian roulette....the point for me of having this surgery is that if I feel the need to screw myself up I can only do it with a small amount of food......our stomachs were in surgery not our brains and this is supposed to be a place of support.....I understand you didn't mean it that way..or at least I think...but if I just messed up it would really make me mad if someone spoke to me this way.....
It is true we need to do good.....and we need to eat Protein first then produce....we r in this together.....I am gonna screw up, so are you and you and you.....as far as the burger and fries goes.....not our best choice but not the worst either.....good luck with your food choices....

Wow that was deep ... And totally right . We don't even realise the mistakes that lit is here I'm the first place , until we sit back ,
Like u did then realize all the wrong . But now we on track to change and change for food to a happy and healthy life , just the way we deserve it.

Have you watched "Weight of the Nation?"
It was On Demand on HBO and it was really interesting to see America go from hungry and skinny from the early 1900s to the 1940s, then they showed the invention of the microwave and frozen meals in the 1950s, and we kind of spiraled out of control from there. My grandma grew up on a farm in Arkansas and I have photos from her childhood -- guess what -- EVERYONE IS SKINNY! I can't find a single fat person in any of her photos from the 1930s and 40s...
As convenient as technology is (don't get my wrong, I love my iPhone, dishwasher, etc.), things being more convenient has made people so lazy! What about those little vacuums that roll around by themselves?! Jeez...

Funny you mentioned this. While I was on my liquid diet, stirring my hot cut of tea, I came up with the brightest idea ever. Why dont they make tiny spoons to stir your tea? A handy name would be a "tea spoon" ?? Oh wait..... is that why they call them that? Hmm.. Nevermind....

Well we are heading in to our final days with our last sleevers this week then we are all done and on the loosers bench, how cool is that....
Big list for tomorrow Wishing them the very best and that all goes ok and they will be in good hands and have a speedy recovery

Hello everyone . My surgery was on August 14th done by Dr. James Harris in Wilmington NC. How everybody doing ?

So glad you are doing well. Dr. A is AMAZING. I am two weeks out and feeling so good. Sometimes I have to remind myself that two weeks ago I was just leaving the hospital!
Best of luck to you ~
