I am a October sleever 10/03/12

I was sleeved on Oct 2nd. How r u doing?

I have a date of October 22nd! So excited... I am happy to join you guys!

I am doing every thing to be prepared! Pre Op diet started and took my beginning measurements!

All in all the first day to my new life was October 8, 2012 when I woke up ready to do this!! (pre op diet that is)

I'm 5 days post Op and I feel pretty good. Walking helps alot and protein shakes give you energy. It was a little difficult getting 1oz down every 15 min at first but now its a lot easier almost normal. Once the swelling and healing take place you have alot easier of a time doing everything. Gas x and prilosec are real helpful. Bottom line water, protein and walk.

Sue jersey- how was your cruise?? Ours was awesome, of course.

The cruise was wonderful. Carnival is a great cruise line, super weather, good food, lots of time with my family. Awesome!

Glad yours was great!

All set for surgery? I JUST NOW got my approval....surgery is tomorrow...talk about down to the wire. Started my first protein drink and waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be in tomorrow.

This is what will get me through the next couple of weeks:

"Because you trusted me, I will give you your life as a reward. I will rescue you and keep you safe. I, the LORD, have spoken!'"

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That IS down to the wire!!! Best of luck tomorrow. I'll be praying for your safe surgery & speedy recovery, and for the surgeon & assistants.

I've been doing well. Down about 10lbs since starting my pre-op diet. Monday can't come soon enough!! I'll join you on the loser's bench next week!!

Finally got my approval TODAY...surgery is TOMORROW. Talk about under the gun! Started my liquid diet for the day, waiting to hear from the hospital what time to be there tomorrow. Excited, nervous (a little) just want to get it over with.

Good luck to all the other 11'ers as well as those still waiting. And congratulations to all the other October sleevers who have already started down the path! Glad to share the experience with you!

I was calling every day.....so glad that I didn't have to change my date.

Congratulations on the weight loss with the pre-op, especially after the cruise! I got lucky that I only had to do one day before surgery of liquid diet. So no weight loss here but I am sooooo ready.

Looking forward to hearing from you after your sleeve!

Good vibes today, had some testing done and everyone that helped me had a procedure and they both used my Doctor, awesome ! I'm getting ready for the 22nd!

Oct 29th @3:00pm

Update had my upper gi no leaks I'm starting ice chips and look fowardcto chicken broth tonight.

I'm an October looser also. I'm scheduled for sleeve 10/23. Started my liquid (only) pre op protein shake diet two days ago. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The cravings are there, but no hunger I cheated by adding a banana to my shake yesterday morning, but if that's the worst I do I'm pretty proud of myself. Anyone else from DFW/Dr Kim? He's pretty great thus far.

Please add me to the list. I'm scheduled for 10-18.

My new date is 10/22
