Hello All,
I'm Monday November 11th.
Revision from RNY (10 years and 1 month ago) to Long Limb Bypass RNY.

Hello! My surgery (sleeve) is Nov. 6th. I start 1 week all liquid pre op diet tomorrow. It has been a long year preparing for this and I could not be more excited (and scared).
I want to be able to play with my 1 year old grand babies and chase them without being sore the whole next day! I want to be able to go to the BEACH again! And SWIM without being embarrassed! I want to put me/my health first again. My Surgeon required no smoking at all for 3 months prior to surgery so I quit!! After 30 years! That's how badly I want this. I never ever thought I could quit smoking, that is as huge as the surgery itself! I'm looking forward to being on here and lifting each other up as we go through this together 🙂
I'm a Realtor so a lot of what I do is from home. Hopefully I can get still get a lot done from home while recuperating.

November Sleevers
Congrats Guys,I'm getting excited now . let's remember each other as we go through this journey and surgery day. We all got pre op diets coming up and they are sometimes different . What is your Pre-op diet . Mine is two Protein Shakes and a lean meat and vegetable meal for dinner . They say I can a little carb at night but im gonna not do that , oh and Jello, sugarless pops for snacks.. Not so bad.... Did I miss anybody??? we got two sets of twins and two set of triplets so far

Best of luck, looking forward to hearing about your journey!!

I am taking off 6 weeks - I have 13 weeks in my sick bank and lose them when I retire in 2021. Actually I am on vacation now - for 2 weeks before surgery days I would lose if not taken. Total off work 8 weeks .

well well I see we have some buddies reporting in a little late but just in time to join the November future recipients for the LOSER'S bench . You all have buddies on the same day as you so holla at your buddies and let us know your thoughts,fears,excitement,or anything you wanna talk about or ask . This forum is jammed packed with all kinds of info
Let's walk this journey together..... Welcome @Bill Sperry @JRT Mom @ALovely @SheilaS look at the calendar and meet your buddies

Thanks! And hopefully you'll be following a few days later!

Thank you. Came home today. Walked a lot. While I constantly read about this and figured I knew, some parts you still cannot prepare for. I knew I’d be up more (read things about insomnia), but I didn’t know a lot. Everyone’s body is different so you can’t fully prepare. You jest through and, passing gas will be your best friend in the world (something I never thought I would say). Good luck to everyone and let us know how it goes. I’ see plenty of open spots on the losers bench waiting for everyone to come and lose the weight 😃

Good luck jrt !

As of now I'm scheduled for a revision from a lap band to RNY on Nov 20. Fingers crossed!

My surgery date is November 13th = revision from lap band to gastric sleeve.
I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow 😟.
2 Protein Shakes and lean meat w/non-starchy vegetables.

Hi...I am new today, and believe I am having the sleeve in the end of November, no date yet, but should find out Friday! I am ready...

Good luck you got this

Best wishes to you both! Welcome to the forum! This is a great place for support, inspiration, venting, and pretty much every other kind of support you need. Everyone here is on the same kind of journey you two are making and we're all here to support each other. Delve into the pre- and post-op threads, or branch out into the general discussion threads. I've personally started to journal in here which is allowing me to vent frustrations and the roller coaster of emotions that seem to go along with WLS.
I look forward to getting to know you out on the threads. Take good care!

I’ll do that . Thank you and good luck with your surgery!

Thanks everyone I’m actually gonna bring a veggie tray to the party and drink Water

Just keep saying, "I can't have that (food item) now, but I will have it next year."
It also helps to think of all the negative outcomes from cheating. Add them all up. List them. Convince yourself of how bad they are for you right now and how they will derail your progress. Then when tempted, tell yourself, "It's just not worth it!" And it isn't. The shame, guilt, physical illness, weight gain/stall are NOT worth it!

Yeah Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be hard watching everyone eat .but at least we’ll be on our way to being healthy

All the best to you both!

Amazing 👏

Good Luck to you!

All the best you two! Prayers and good thoughts coming your way for a speedy recovery now, since your surgeries are probably over and you're getting ready to do your first walk.
Hugs and loves 💕

Great advice here. Especially since the holidays are now upon us with one food event after the next. I'm still working on my own plans - December in particular is a food fest here in the office with people bringing in food every single day. We don't have a full-on Thanksgiving meal this year with the family so that is one benefit. However, that means I have to cook at least a turkey breast for my hubby, along with stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. Maybe I can negotiate some of those high calorie sides for some low calorie veggies.
Wondering what everyone else is planning?
