Any December Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

D'oh, I'm the only one who'll be on a 2 week liquid diet during Christmas?

I have to watch my family fill their faces with turkey, dressing and Desserts. :(

Nope DougNichols- You aren't the only one! I will be right there with you. But, I think the excitment of my life being changed for the better is a little bit of an encouragement. My surgery date is December 27th.

Good luck! Just keep that nervous energy working in your favor!

I got mine 12/14 and no complaints here. Just debating on if I should start the full liquids Sat/Sun like they recommended or wait a little longer. Thoughts?

Thanks. I found it. And, was like AW! I love it!

Whoohoo for December 20th!

I can't. I thought I was pre occupied BEFORE. Oh my gosh. It's far worse. All I can think about is surgery.

Like, what to do before surgery? What will I need? What do I need to do?? LOL

My surgery got bumped to December 27 due to my lovely insurance company, but at least I am still a December sleever! Good luck Monday!

Me too! It will be hard to do the liquid diet with all of my family's great treats, but at least it is for a good cause!

I was sleeved on December 14th. The first couple of days were a bit rough, but everything seems to be evening out now. Every day gets better!!! Good luck to all my December sleeve sisters and brothers!!!

Lila, I am now getting sleeved by Cirangle on Tuesday. How has your recovery been???

Hi Alexis,

Wow, that's great. Dr. Cirangle is a really experienced surgeon, and I think you'll be in GREAT hands! Also, I assume you'll be at CPMC, the staff there are SOOOO nice. People were really kind and supportive, and I felt well taken care of.

My recovery is going really well!! The first couple of days were kind of tough (mostly because I was a bit nauseous and bloated from the gas, not really about the pain), but after that, things have been going like gangbusters. It's truly hard to believe I have a major surgery two weeks ago. I have had no problems drinking my Water, or getting in my Protein. I've had good energy, and I only took the meds for about 4 days. I might have taken them for an even shorter period, but I was a little paranoid about pain. My incisions are healing really well, and I'm feeling really good. I hope things go GREAT for you! I'll be thinking of you!

My surgery date is December 7th. Anyone scheduled on or near that date? I figure I'll be able to decorate the house and do my shopping beforehand, then be in pretty good shape by the time Christmas rolls around.

I was sleeved on Dec 7th too. We are almost the same. My starting weight was 202 and I am at 187. I'm down 15 lbs. I say congrats to us! Here's to a skinny 2011!:lol:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
