December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

DECEMBER 2013 SLEEVERS ITS OUR TIME !!

Hi Everyone! I am Dec 19th!

Hello everyone!

I'm scheduled for Dec. 26 . My name is Allison and I'm 38.

Not to be tmi but when I go it is loose.

Well u guys, I assume since if all ur puttn in is liquids then all u start getting out is liquid or loose stools. Bc although its to shrink the liver, ur body has probably cleaned out most if not all of the backed up stool, and bc of increased liquids, its going to b soft. Imo, I don't think its anything to worry over. HEY, Andrew, how's the rash fairing, better? Well gl all and Happy December to the group and I look forward to our successful stories soon to come!! What a Christmas present:))

Worried!<br> My surgery is on December 3rd and I just started feeling the symptoms of a cold. Do you think they will cancel?

That is an awesome question although I don't have the answer I'm looking forward to someone who does! Maybe call ur doctor?

I think you need to call your dr... Mine said that if I was under the weather to let them know ASAP so they can call in antibiotics or whatever and not cancel.

I wonder if you could have a whey intolerance or lactose intolerance? Milk is usually constipating so if it isn't, maybe there is an intolerance to one of the products?

Is it terrible or just annoying?
