December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

My Official surgery date is December 13 and got confirmation all is good. I was supposed to have it at the end of Jan but I was bumped up which is really exciting. Now I have to start preparing my Protein and liquid diet. Just wondering what Protein Drinks are the best out there?

I hope that I will be a December sleever. My pre op labs showed I have an h pylori infection. Who knew?? Never even heard of it. I was horrified when I read about it and how it spreads. I don't know how I got it or how long I've had it...just know I want it gone. Dr had me give a stool sample to be sure but I'll bet my last Twinkie that I'll have to go on antibiotics for two weeks to get rid of it. Everyone seems to get sick from the meds. Once I am clear from h pylori' date=' I'm ready for surgery. Anyone else have this problem?[/quote']

I have heard about it and its common. Most people don't know they have it. I have stomach issues and actually was hoping I had it so I could have I treated and get rid of the stomach issues! Had a blood test and it was negative. I'm sure that's better. Different treatments for it. I hope yours isn't too rough!

Congrats!! Welcome to our group!

So many opinions on shakes. I hear a lot of people like Premier from costco or Sams, there are "clear" ones from Isopure online. There's a chicken broth flavored one because many cant stand the sweet after surgery.

Apparently if you get them from GNC, they will let you return them if you try them and don't like them.

I've been sampling since August, and so far Premier is the best I've tasted. Nothing comes close to them. I'm going to stick with them

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
