GOOD LUCK AND HUGS TO MY DECEMBER SLEEVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS



Recommended Posts

Hi there to all my fellow December sleeve brothers and sisters.

I just wanted to send lots of good luck and hugs to all of you for your ops to go smoothly and for your speedy recovery.

I can honestly say that this is the best ever Christmas gift that I have had.!!!

No more of the stuffing my face at Christmas and New Year’s resolutions to loose the weight. No more thinking “ it will be different next Christmas because I’m going to loose the weight “. No more beating myself up when next Christmas arrives and I’ve not only not lost the weight, but put on even more !!!!!!

I wonder what Christmas 2011 will hold for all of us ??????

Once again good luck and hugs to all of my new December sleeve family

I'm right there with you Angela. My date is Dec 7th and it is strangely reassuring that other are going through the same ordeal. We all have the love/hate relationship with the holidays based around food. It's about time to drop the hate.

Good luck to my Dec Sleevers... May this be a great year for all.

Sleeve date Dec 7th with Dr Vohra.

Ah, thank you so much, Angela!!! I feel the same way! It's funny, I picked the holiday to do this because my entire company shuts down for a week, so it means a ton of work won't be waiting for me when I get back! But, I am soooo happy that I chose this time of year so that every year hereafter I can be grateful that I chose to do this for myself. It's such a milestone time of year because it's so close to the January resolutions, etc, etc, only this year, it REALLY will be different!!! ''

Good luck to all my December sleeve sisters and brothers!

It's going to be so interesting to see where we all are a year from now :-) Keep in touch, and please post after your surgery to let us know how you are doing!!! Best of luck to you, it's just around the corner!

Thank You! My Surgeon looked at me and said: "I can do your surgery on the 8th is that a problem for you because of the upcoming holidays?" Yahhhhhh let me think....this is going to be one of the best christmas of my life even if I am vomiting, and whatever I still think that.:)biggrin.gif

I had my surgery yesterday. I am already at home, pain is minimal but I am taking the liquid pain medicine at at least for next few days. I have no hunger at all and have to remember to drink my 2 ozs every hour for today. I have not had one bit of naseua or gas pains. I do not regret this at and wish all the other December speedy recovers. :rolleyes:

Angela,

Great post and so true! How many times have I thought NEXT Christmas I'll be able to wear my skinny jeans? Good luck to you next week!

Glad you are doing well and have so little pain, Klus! My date is 12/28 and the pain is one of my biggest fears!

Hello! I'm your sleeve sister... having mine on dec 8th! Good luck to us, and I don't think we'll miss out on the holiday treats... we've eaten them for years and already know what they taste like. :)

My sleeve is occuring on the 8th as well, Howdy Sleeve Sisters! I too am nervous, but it's more that I've been preparing up to this point so much on getting approved and getting all of the pre stuff done that now that it's finally here I'm a little spazzed. I am sooooo looking forward to waking up the day after and looking myself over OMG!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
