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!

AtlantaRed, Thanks for keeping the list updated. It is greatly appreciated and it feels good to see my name amongst such an AWESOME Group. I am proud to be a part of "THE LIST". I am hoping your recovery is going great and I wish you much success.

Thanks so much! Sorry there was a bit of a lag there. My recovery started great and then backtracked for a bit! Things are great now! Tomorrow is 2 weeks postop. Still some muscular pain behind the incision but eating and drinking very well!

Good luck to you tomorrow and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Good luck everyone!!! Prayers and thoughts of an un eventful experience and super speedy recovery!! Hope all recent DEC sleevers are all doing fantastic!!!

Can I please be added to December 30th thanks

Can I also be added to the Dec. 30th list as well

Please add me to 12/23.

The day of surgery and following day were awful. Chest pain, gas, groggy, loopy, lots of buyers remorse. Now 4 days post op and feeling pretty good.

Good luck to all of us.

Please add me to the newbies list for 12-18-13

Me too!!!!

I've been fantasizing about egg drop soup since yesterday. My wonderful neighbor friend is picking me up some (along with unsweetened apple sauce). Got the all clear from doc about the soup, which I think I will be more diligent to do for a bit. I read egg yolk is a full liquid and ate two soft cooked ones. It wasn't too large and it really hit the spot but...a few hours later? They bit me back. Thought I would puke. Maybe the fat was too much? I don't know, but I will pester the docs office with my ideas for a bit until I heal!

Dec 3 was the day and finally getting back to normal. Hw 285 sw 274 cw 254 may not of lost a lot but a lot of inches gone. Starting to drop lbs. I know I have to up calories and protein. Happy with the changes so far. It might be slow but better than nothing. Good luck to everyone.

Welcome to all the new members..and good luck to all today's sleevers!!

Thanks so much Atlanta for updating the list. I admit I fell behind in keeping up with that and the other thread as well.

Just an update on the pounds lost thread...we're getting super close to having a goal weight loss of almost 10,000 pounds. As of today, we are at 8,641 pounds to be lost. That is unbelievable...I remember when I was hoping for 5,000 pounds.

If you are still interested in joining the weight loss party, the thread can be found here:

Mnwin, thanks for a great job! You and AtlantaRed are simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Hey everybody. Dec23rd Sleever here. Making my way through head hunger, nasty tasting protein shakes and salt cravings. Super excited to have it done and looking forward to the success to come once I can up my liquids n protein. I can only get about 30oz and 30grms down right now. 2014 here I some. !!! Happy New Me!!! Lol.

super excised, can't believe the 30th is almost here, have to be at the hospital at 5:30 Monday. Did anyone have institutions of not drinking or eating anything red the day before surgery?

Edited December 27, 201312 yr by AngiD

I had to do two days clear liquid before the surgery and absolutely nothing to eat or drink after midnight.
