Hey August Sleevers! Put Me On Your List! Aaahroo!



Recommended Posts

Just got the call from the hospital. My check in time is at 6am this Monday!! I knew my day would be 8/6' date=' but wasn't sure if they would take me in the morning or afternoon. Can I tell you how relieved I am that it will be in the AM!!! It will make the day before a little less painful with having to be on only Clear Liquids. I will for sure savor every last drop of my last Protein Shake Saturday night. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I only stay the one night in the hospital. Will hopefully be home and recuperating in my own bed by Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, I hopped on the scale and it looks like of the 20 lbs I gained over the past 3 months, I lost 15 of them, which makes me appreciate the pre op diet that much more.

So excited!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />[/quote']

Congrats! Let us know how you are doing. I was rescheduled from 8/1 to 8/14, so now I'm getting anxious.

I was not told to stop my Protein Shakes on Saturday. But was told that I should not have anything at all after midnight Sunday. Wondering if I missed something?

I'm hoping to find other August sleevers to treck the journey with. I'm so ready to get this weighted ball rolling you just don't know...

I've been putting on weight since the birth of my first child 20 years ago. Things really got out of hand when I seperated from the military in 2006. No limits,No mandatory runs,No mandatory weigh-ins makes Gr8rLuv a very big, bad girl :P !! Currently, I'm miserable...My joints-Achy wrists,back,hips,knees and ankles. sleep Apnea-I got it, Cpap-I wear it. I can't wait to get back to my normal...BMI,Weight, Activity,Sleep. I've lost enough time...I'm ready for the RESET button!![/quote']

Well fellow August sleevers.. I a

Also an August sleever but from 2011! Just to give you a little something to look forward to... Since I was where you guys are now a year ago.. This year has been nothing short of amazing. I went from a size 14/16 to in between a size 1 to sometimes 3.. I run.. Which is something I have never been able to do.. Even at my thinnest in high school.. I am in the best shape of my life.. I eat healthy and look forward to my work outs... Your journey is only just beginning but before you know it your life will be so changed and you will be happier than you ever thought possible... Many blessings to all you newbies and may you all have a speedy recovery and a kick a$$ bod in a few short months.. I was at goal in 5 months and have had to change it several times to accommodate all the extra I lost that I never imagined would...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
