Hello Everybody! I would like to join the December 2013 sleevers group.
My name is Tiffany. I am 32 years old, a wife, and a mother of a beautiful little girl.
I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/10/2013 and I am super nervous. I have been debating the surgery for over 3 years. I have finally come to the realization that I cannot lose the weight on my own... I went through all of the insurance requirements to be approved for the sleeve, then backed out... Now, I am here to finally follow through with the surgery.
I work as a clinical quality/risk manager in a hospital, so I am super duper freaked out about being that one-in-a-million where something goes horribly wrong. I am getting better and better each day though. My family is being SO AWESOME in their support of me.
I look forward to going on this journey with each of you.
Tiffany

Prayers for you folks having surgery as we speak!

I am a December 18th sleever, first time poster and user on here. My wife had her surgery November 11th. We made a decision last march that once our daughter recovered from her open heart surgery we would begin this process. I'm proud of my wife and where she is and looking forward to my new beginning. My preop diet starts Wednesday. Good luck fellow December sleevers....

Keep your self busy with drinking Fluid and you'll forget all about wanting to eat

Wishing all of the December 2nd sleevers all of God's blessings for a safe and comfortable day tomorrow. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. I will be praying for all of you.

Well today is DAY 1 of 14 on this pre-op diet..
I actually feel really good. Not hungry , not wanting to eat any food, or cheat.
I've had temptation this morning. My boyfriend brings in Breakfast from Hardees but he went in our room while i was in the front watching tv so i would not smell it. So kind of him (he's the best)
My day has been very busy i drink Fluid like every hour or so . i am trying to make sure that i get in all 64 oz of fluid daily.. My alarm clock on my phone is going Crazy!!
DECEMBER 18TH HERE I COME!!

Hi, I'm 29 and at 240. Going to my pre-op appointment tomorrow to schedual my revision from lap band to sleeve for December. Looking at a December 17th-18th date. I'm also moving from a homeless shelter into my own apartment this week, so this looks like it's going to be a busy and exciting month for me. So I'll post tomorrow on my deff date.

Hi, my date for the sleeve is for Dec. 18th. I start my pre-op diet Wednesday. Getting a little nervous. Hope I can stick with the diet. Want to be in the best shape I can be for surgery. I'm 57 and have a BMI OF 43. My doctor is K. Robert Williams at The New Life Center in Knoxville, Tn.

Great advice....my surgery is 12/5/13 and the liquid diet has been a struggle but I have not put anymore weight on since the 12 I dropped. I'm sitting here making a grocery list at 1:45 am and watching YouTube videos. My nervous are setting in and I'm beginning to doubt that I can keep this up, ike everything else I've tried in the past. Going to pray and ask God to help me continue this journey without doubting the multiple abilities he has blessed me with. Venting.....always works! Good night all!
*12/5/13 : )

my goal is to loose 125 pounds.. put me down!!

I feel the need to stir up the hornet's nest today, been too quiet. I have noticed lately a lot of people (typically newer folks, but some further down the road, too) saying they just want to "be normal." Then they go on to say they want to eat whatever they want, often modifying it with "small amounts," "in moderation," or other caveats. Also, it seems that "whatever they want" always seems to include junk foods, cake, chips, or soda or other high calorie/low nutrition items. You rarely see a post about someone wanting to eat "normally" so they can feast on asparagus and Brussel sprouts.
Here is my question to everyone:
Discounting teenage boys, do you really know anyone naturally thin that eats that type of food whenever they want?
Now, I don't claim to know everything, but personally I don't know any thin people (who have always been at a normal weight) that eat crap on a regular basis, in moderation or not. The thin people I know think about what they eat. They have Lean Cuisines for lunch or a salad, if they have dessert (rarely) they share it, they never eat in secret or binge or hide food, and they usually have some form of regular exercise, even if it's just walking the dog. They have smaller portions, and yes, they will enjoy big meals at family occasions and holidays, but those are events that occur only a few times a year.
I know we'll have some folks answer back that their whoever eats whatever they want and is thin, but really, what do they eat? Do they eat bags of chips, several sodas every day, fried food, piles of mashed potatoes or french fries? Do they go through a bag of Cookies in a sitting?
So, food for thought - what exactly is normal eating and are our expectations appropriate?
