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....

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.

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.
