I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Thanks for that Susan. That must have taken a lot of time and effort. Much appreciated!

I agree! Great job :-)

No trouble - I'm an organizer (ADD? OCD?) so all the scattered info was making me crazy

Here are the confirmed Octosleevers (so far)!! Let's hope those with tentative dates will be confirmed soon :-)

Susan your awesome!! I just cried when I saw my name on this list. It is all very emotional for me.

Thank you all for the support it is much needed

Dude, you so ROCK, Susan...that was fantastic of you to do...awesome! I was also stoked to see my name up there....makes it real!

Hi! I'm Holly - sleeve surgery on 10/11/12 (cool date-huh?) with Dr Ahmad on Long Island , NY. Excited and scared! I'm on week 2 of low sugar/carb diet. I tried 2 shake samples from my nut. The plain was pretty good- added fresh strawberries (only 2-3). I had strawberry flavored one today - not half as good as the 1st one. I hurt myself last week (strained/pulled hip flexer/groin muscle-yes, woman can pull a groin muscle! Excrutiating pain!) Thank God I'm on my pre-op diet or I would have gained at least 5 pounds! 

All these posts are making me super excited, lol. Hurry up October!!!

Thank you for the list Susan! Amazing

Hello lovely October sleevers. Just thought I'd pop in and give encouragement. I'm almost 2 years out and I feel like October ppl share my rebirthday. Maintaining 5lbs below goal and will lose 10 more once plastics are over. Life is SO great and easy! I went from size 22/24 to size 4/6. I'm loving life and I've been on this high since 2 weeks post op. Your day is coming! BE EXCITED!
