May 2013 Sleevers!

  • Popular Post

Hello everyone, I wanted to see how many May 2013 sleevers there are! :D What are you doing at this point to prepare for surgery? What are your stats?

I am scheduled for May 15th. So excited, but nervous!! I am currently 260 and my highest was 268 in February. I plan to get down to at least 250 before the two week Protein diet prior to my surgery. My goal weight is 150 which I haven't been at in about 7 years! I started my journey in January of this year. I was fortunate enough that my insurance approved me without requiring a 6 month monitored diet. I have a good amount of support, didn't start off that way though. First responses were "you're taking the easy way out", so I took them to information seminars which completely changed their views (whew!). I am extremely excited for the surgery because it's a new me. I can completely change my life habits around and start feeling better about myself physically and mentally. When I think back, I've realized my weight has kept me from making friends, going in public, and just plain living life!

I would love to hear all of your stories thus far and how your journey to getting sleeved has been! :D

Thanks!!

- Brooke

    I just had my surgery this past Monday and it has been hard but today has been better! The really hard thing for me is all the liquid intake. My doctor wants me to consume between 50 to 60 ounces per

Oh oh got my period and is being a week since I have my surgery I am feeling a little uncomfortable but I guess is normal. Back and stomach pain well my period came two days early than usual. I guess thats good.

I have a May 28th date, and could not be more thrilled! I am so proud of myself that I have decided to begin this new chapter of a permanent healthy life. I am grateful to have a support team. :D One of the things that I am not looking forward too is that I will start my period 2 days after my surgery. Any suggestions? Thanks All!

Hahaha same date and same deal with my period how funny that there are 3 of us in the same boat.

Here's a list! If you're not on the list, just copy/paste it in your reply and add yourself! I'm scheduled for May 14th! Maybe we can each check in after our surgery.
