Hey familia! I just wanted to check in and give you guys an updated list. If you don't have a definite date yet, and maybe gave me 2 dates then I haven't added you yet. Just let me know when you get your definite date so i dont have to go through the list and try to find you. Vix-I see your date changed but i can't find your original date....am I blind or did i not add you the first time ? lol

If I did not add you yet...and you have a date let me know and I will add you :)

I can't believe we're getting so incredibly close! Watching the ticker go down is insane! I'm officially packed . I will be putting my bags in the car this weekend haha! yes i'm not leaving til next week. but why not :) .

The pre op diet for me is going pretty well with the exception of today. I did cheat and eat 4 fig newtons :( i feel like theres a bag of cement in my stomach....and since I haven't "eaten" in 4 days....it actually hurt to chew. but my dumb ass chewed and chewed. That was my one screw up and it wont happen again...I see how crappy it made me feel and I'm over it. It wasn't worth the tummy ache or the crappy feeling i got. Lesson learned.

QOTD-How many of you would be interested in a meeting event in a year or two if we're all still posting together on this board?

I was thinking we could all donate a certain small amount of money, rent out a space...Have a nice sleep appropriate dinner, maybe around the same time as a walk/5k type of thing, we could vote on a place to have it. Just an idea.....but, i'm in ! Perhaps- aug 2013 , or aug 2014!?

Futureskinnypants... I am in for both of these! I would love to meet some of my August sleever family.. and what better way than to do a 5k! Prove to ourselves what our bodies really CAN do without all that weight!

So I spent the day at the hospital for my preop stuff. 7 am: chest cray, gallbladder ultrasound, blood work, urine work, ekg. 9-12: nutrition class at hospital. 1:15: nurse interview. 2-4: nutrition class at my surgeons office. It was a long day, but I learned a lot. It is also my 4th day of liquids and I am feeling cramps in my stomach, but over all ok. TMI: my BM's are weird. All my test result came out normal, so I am ready!

QOTD: I would totally get together next summer with our group.

I would definitely be happy to get away and Celebrate our skinny selfs. But we are so spread out, it will have to be mid country. Its a dream that only we as our Awesome August Sleevers can do.

Could you just imagine us all walking through Disneyworld in some Amazingly Awesome August Sleevers t shirt, riding on all the rides that we never dreamed we could go on. Getting stares cause we are Absolutely Amazingly Awesome August Sleevers, not for , well, you know.

That was fun, but I cannot think of any other adjectives with an A, so I will just sign off now. lol

Hello bound4bway.... I don't live in MA, but right on the border around Albany NY.. I dont' see a lot of northeast sleevers.. anyone???

I am one of the sleevers also going to Mexico.. I work for a large well known company, so you would think I wouldn't have had to go, but Aetna has their own rules. I could wait for 2 yrs and hope for approval, or pay for it myself..

Now that you have your date, the nervous stomach is normal... don't stress!

I'm from the Northeast too. I'm about 2 hours from Albany. I live in Putnam County, NY on the boarder of Westchester. :)

Havent been sleeping well lately.Been feeling scared latelty... scared of complications....scared all my hair will fall out...scared I didnt chose the right surgeon...

Just keep telling yourself it'll all be okay and remind yourself of the reasons your doing it. Have you researched your doctor and his stats? I hear we won't have hair problems as long as we have the Protein and Vitamins ...and we will :) Don't worry so much :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
