    June 2013 Sleevers GROUP

    I saw my NUT today. Sleeved June 3rd. My starting bmi was 47.24, pre-op bmi 46.12, current bmi 42.15. I have lost 8.5% of my total body weight. Yay! I am officially on a general diet and because of my height I have to up my protein to 100-120 gms.

    Sorry I don't know where my head is. My appointment is Monday at 1:30. For some reason I kept thinking the 22nd was Tuesday.

    Thanks TV-Duhhh, I'm surprised that Stephanie didn't schedule your surgery and 4th preop class when she told you that the insurance approved your surgery.

    Thank you. I made it through the week, but I've been coming home going straight to bed. Hopefully next week things will be better. I have to see Laurie on Tuesday, maybe I'll come to 20 to say hi to you and Francine.

    Sleeved June 3rd. I'm down 23 pounds since surgery and was at a stall for about two weeks.

    This is my first week back to work since surgery 6/3. Luckily my first two days I worked from home. Today is my first day in the office....not a bad day. My mom bought me a bday cake yesterday ( actual bday is 7/18 )she said she wanted to catch me in a good mood before returning to the office. Lol I thanked her for the cake and then told her to take it to her house. She gave me a funny look. I was like " um thank you, but georgette can only have about a fork full of all of that yumminess." It's quick how people forget that our eating habits have changed.

    Already sleeved JUNE-bees!

    Scale is moving again. Heaviest weight : 367 Preop weight:349, surgery weight:340, current weight: 318.2. My clothes are definitely too big now and I am starting to see my collar bone. I was sleeved 6/3

    I had a private room at NMH and it was huge with a couch/bench. If I had wanted, I could have had someone stay overnight.

    Does your sleeve have a name?

    My sleeve is named georgette, she is very refined. When someone offers me something to eat, I say " georgette does not like that" or "georgette prefers water".

    Congrats! You're another step closer. It will be your surgery day before you know it.

    I was sleeved June 3rd also. I've also lost 20 pounds. scale has not moved since I was 2 weeks post-op, just waiting for my body to catch up with new changes. Even though I don't see a loss in pounds, I do see it in inches, my clothes are looser.
  17. I'm in the same boat. I think we were sleeved the same day, June 3rd. My NUT told me not to worry and during the first must we may gain some weight or not lose at all. It's just our body adjusting to everything that has happened. But mentally, it is still torture. I think "did I screw up having this surgery? What if it doesn't work?" But then I read the different threads and realize that we are all going through this and that the weight will come off, just have to be patient.
