Today I checked out the extract section at my local Walmart and found some great flavones of extract that I can add to my pre op shakes. I'm getting excited to make up some concoctions! I'm sure it will get old quick <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That is a great idea!

I am Nov. 27th too

Great! I'm the next day. Look forward to hearing about your experiences.

November 28

So I was thinking... what do you guys think of starting a November sleevers post op thread?? That way we can still motivate and support each other....

Great idea! However, I think we should wait until November.

I am in countdown mode. My birthday is the first week of November and thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. However, the main date that has my focus is 11-28. Lol. Is that weird or what?

I am ready' date=' all my life I had to shop in the HUSKY section that hand only three shirt stlyes and pant made of petro by product that cost 140 dollars . All can invasion is a smaller ass in jeans from Walmart!![/quote']

That's a great goal.

You know' date=' I keep reading about stalls. Especially on the contest threads. I have an idea. So that we November Sleevers stay absolutely motivated no matter what the dang scale says...lets have our contests be two parts. Yes the scale matters as it does pertain to our goals of healthy weights, BMI's an such, but it is not the only way to measure success. We will have times of no weight loss but still our bodies will change. So that being said I propose we have goals for pounds lost/final weights AND for inches lost. That second one will be hard to gauge. But it would still an important motivator for us.[/quote']

I like the idea of including inches lost. How does the contest work. My day is 11-28, so I'll be a late starter. However, I am very excited.

Hello guy! Welcome to positivity. I'm scheduled for the 28. I'm so excited!

Hi Debbie,

I' m sorry to hear about your husband. However, I'm sure he loves you and wants this for you, too. Unfortunately, life can be stressful. The rule is "Just don't give up!". Be encouraged and realize that this is for you. You deserve this for yourself and are worth it. I'm sending prayers for you and your husband. I'm scheduled for the end of November. When are you scheduled? We will cheer you on.

Any one else scheduled for November counting the days? I literally have a countdown app on my iPad. Lol. I have slightly more than 46 days until I have to be at the hospital. Not that I'm a tad excited or anything. Lol.

I am counting the days also. Scheduled for November 28. Yeah!

Thanks for the tips!

I'm so happy for you. I can't wait for mine! I hope it is smooth like yours.
