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!

I've heard of others having only clears for at least a week after surgery. It does seem odd to have basically no calories or protein for so long. I wonder if the Unjury chicken broth protein would be ok?

I hope so cuz I have to do the same thing for 2 wks postop. I need to taste the unjury but scared too bc I alrdy bought it n can't sell it! But I've heard only gr8 things about the taste of it. N congrats on date, gl:)

So excited. Just got my date today, and my surgery is set for Dec 9. Can't wait. It's been a long journey to get to this point. Had my band out in April, and just waiting until I could get this done! So happy to be joining the December group.

Ummm, can this month just hurry up and be OVER already?!?!?!?!?!? I'm sure some you you might feel the same way.

Okay...got my date! I'm joining the group on December 10th. I am 66, my current weight is 263...need to lose another 3-7 pounds, but shouldn't be hard on the pre op diet. THAT will be hard, I'm sure. Hooray! Not long now.

Welcome Coachdk and congratulations on getting your date!

Well, make sure you have all the vit, foods, drinks, just all the things needed for postop, I have a stockpile of things for pre/post op for the first 3 stages til maintenance, as well as, measuring devices, utensils n lots of prayers! U don't want to have to guess what u shud b doing postop, I've read many people on here not knowing what to do postop. Just my two cents but gl and keep us in tha know:))

YAY!

Got ya changed on the list! It's just around the corner!

For those that don't know we do have a Facebook group just find me and add me. Search Ashlie Marie Gilmore. My profile picture right now is two cartoon girls. Not many people with that name. People who don't have a date yet are welcome to join and post.

My date is 12/5/13 with dr. Umback. I am most scared about being alone in Las Vegas for a few days after surgery. Are any of you going out if town for your procedure? How long are you waiting before you travel home?
