Surgery 12/10. Had my Nut appt today. Went well - basically Protein Drinks and one diet/frozen meal for two weels prior. I can have Turkey and veggies for Thanksgiving, so i am happy! I have been drastically cutting back on food anyway so i am not too worried. Have to keep up with the gym and walking - i cannot gain an ounce or they will cancel the surgery. But i am now down 8 pounds below my magic number so i have a bit if a cushion! PHEWwwww - Down a total of 34.9 since August. Now to keep at it!

Thank you everyone for all of your tips and ideas!

I am back from my first support group meeting. I was SUPER nervous before the meeting so my sweet 20 year old daughter went with me. It was the surgery coordinator (who I love), the nutritionist (who is great), me, and 3 other pre-ops + support peeps. I was a little disappointed at first that there weren't more people and no people who have already had surgery. But it went great and I learned more about the pre-op diet and....

I MET SOMEONE FROM THIS GROUP!!!!! AngiD!!! AND WE HAVE THE SAME SURGEON AND ARE GETTING SLEEVED THE SAME DAY!!!!!

Great night, super excited!

My surgery date got moved to 12/20. I got clearance from my nutritionist, just need final clearance and labs from my pcp. I am 31 years old, 5'5 and 253 (yikes!! The highest I've ever been by far!!). I can't wait to get rid of all of this weight and feel like myself again!!! I live in southern Florida.

sns513, My surgery is 12/20, too! I moved it up from 1/10 because of work, and I'm very excited. Start preop on 12/4 ( at least I get turkey and stuffing first :) I'm going to Mexico for surgery but I used to live in St. Pete... Where are you?

My surgery date is 12/10 also. You've done better than I have dieting pre-op. I'm on day 4 of my 3-week pre-op diet and down 9 pounds. Need to compensate for an extended set of food funerals up until last week.

I like this idea :) While being in with all the December people is great, I'd like to eventually communicate more with people who are close to my date within a few days, especially post-op. How would this be accomplished?

I like that there are so many fellow December sleevers as well and look forward to hearing everyone's stories but I think once December hits I will probably just start a new thread saying December 1st-5th sleevers or something like that and whoever wants to follow that thread can. For me, I think it will be nice to have the support and be able to talk to others going through exactly what I am at exactly the same time.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
