  1. Hi - I'm KiKi and I am having surgery on September 19, 2013 and I'd LOVE to connect with another "sleever" in the Alexandria, VA/DC area! Please email me at dckiki@gmail.com if you would like to compare notes on getting sleeved.
  2. I went to work after exactly one week - today is my 2nd day back and while I'm surviving I'm definitely dealing with a sore back and some tiredness. It's manageable, though.
  3. Thanks! This helped me, too!

    First post op appt

    Congratulations! I'm 8 days post op and 15 lbs down...but they haven't moved me to the pureed stage yet. I have to wait one more week for that.

    Soreness?

    I'm still dealing with soreness, but I'm only 8 days out from surgery. Considering all the work they did in there, I imagine we would be tender for a little while...
  6. Same here! Surgery on the 19th and haven't pood since! Also, weight is back to pre-op weight, but it hasn't gone lower...yet.

  10. Avoiding water parks with my daughter because I'm too fat Not doing outdoorsy things because I need to stay "covered up" Being offered unsolicited advice about how to lose weight Being the "fat sister" Feeling self conscious when I speak in front of groups because of my weight Avoiding events because I can't find anything to wear that will diminish my weight
  11. Exactly one week from surgery!!! starting my 1 week liquid diet today and so far, so good. I am so excited for the changes coming my way!!!!! Good luck to all of us September Sleevers!!!

  15. I'm having my surgery at INOVA Fair Oaks in Virginia (outside of DC). I only have to do the liquid diet for 2 days before the surgery to help shrink the liver.
  16. I'm scheduled for September 19th and I'm super excited. I've been working on tracking all of my food and eating protein first, which has helped me lose a few pounds this week. We're going to rock this!
