@@NarrowingKitty I'm in!!!! GroupMe Gastric Sleeve 2017 Tulsa, Ok.

I don't know how to set up Group Me but count me in. I would love to be a part of a January support group. I'll find out my date mid December. I'm looking at the 3rd week of Jan. Gastric Sleeve 2017 Tulsa, Ok.

It's so cliche. But New Year brings new beginnings. Gastric Sleeve 2017 Tulsa, Ok.

Hi Dawn! I just joined too. My surgery will be either the 3rd or 4th week in January. I'm 50 years old. My surgeon recommended the Gastric Sleeve. Im focusing on drinking 1 Protein shake a day. I'm drinking Premier Protein. 30g of protein per shake. I'm also working thru coping skills for emotional eating, compulsive eating. I got to this weight using food for comfort. That habit will not be changed by the surgery. I've learned that not dealing with the mental aspect is what causes some to gain weight back in the 18th to 24 month post op period. I'm drinking Water out of sports bottle caps to get used to sipping rather than gulping water. I follow a YouTube channel called Voluptuously Skinny. This woman lives in Tulsa too. She video journaled her entire journey. She is hilarious and transparent. I also attend monthly support groups where we get to meet with post surgery patients and get their tips and ask questions. I hope we get more to respond to this thread. I'm like you. I want to be prepared. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
