December sleevers!

[Deigh 15]

Geez, I think I picked the program with the longest liquid diet! I'm already on mine.

I'm planning a cheat meal on Thanksgiving. I promised the doc I wouldn't over indulge but I do want to eat something. It's exactly 2 weeks from the start of my liquid diet to Thanksgiving and another two weeks exactly to my sleeve date, December 8th, so I think it's a good cheat meal.

By the way, just because you love spicy food doesn't make it a good "last meal" pre the liquid diet. Red Curry was NOT a good idea once the liquid got into my system and I ended up in the bathroom. (Apologies if that's too crude but really - don't make that mistake.)

Oh wow.. I'm grateful to only have 1 week of a liquid diet pre-op... Though, I'm starting Meal Replacement shakes Dec. 1st to get in preparation... Hang in there!!!

Hi Future December sleevers. Im looking forward to seeing all the results from you guys, Im a late December sleever. My surgery is with Dr.Aceves on Dec 27 I can wait!

I will be starting a YouTube journal "less0fleslie" next week. I just got my paperwork from my doc today and my pre-op diet is 1100 calories for 2 weeks and Clear Liquids 48 hrs before surgery. Not too shabby!

I just got my date yesterday. December 19th with Dr. Jossart. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get there, the logistics of it. I can't wait but then it seems too soon at the same time! ahh.

I haven't gotten my date yet but hoping for December. My insurance coordinator seems to think it will be too. It's exciting because it looks like there is a whopping bunch to share the experience with!

[guzel 11]

I just spoke to my insurance coordinator. She's submitting the paper work today so everything is still on track for Dec 14. I'll sleep a whole lot easier once I get the offical pre authorization.

Oh well everyone, the insurance drug it's feet until I lost my surgery date. I am still waiting on my approval so the doctor's office moved my date to Feb. 14, 2012. Best wishes to all you December sleevers!

@ BenisaMartim4 ((((HUGS)))

So sorry you have to wait until February. Please keep talking with us December Divas. You will be our honorary member!.

I will meet you on the loser's bench in February.

December Divas...Does your surgery center use an interdiciplinary bariartic team? I just spent most of the day at the hospital doing presurgery work-ups and paper work. It was a long day but the team made me feel very comfortable and "special". They are genuinally comapssionate and want to see me succeed. In fact 2 nurses and 1 of the doctors gave me their home and cell numbers to call anytime with questions.

Wow!

I have my Nutrition class on Monday then the 28th begins the 2 week liquid diet. Anyone else have to drink Impact advanced recovery the week before surgery?

December 13th sleeve date

Hey Benisa,

You'll always be a Dynamic December Sleever in my book!!!! Things have a way of working out the way they are supposed to.. So, it's cool... Enjoy the journey my dear!!!

[LoserMama 37]

sorry to hear you lost your december date benisa Boo. But please do be an honorary member!

roxyrooster -- no, i have not heard of impact advanced recovery, is it a Protein drink?

Did I stumble into a december 2011 subforum at one point? Anyone want to expand out there as we start to have a flurry of posts?
