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'm sending up some prayers for you Vixey...want to see your name moved to the 'other' side of the long list of December sleevers!

Where can you order samples of different protein shakes?

Try Nashua Nutrition. They have samples you can purchase from various vendors all on one site.

Im scheduled to get banded Dec 5th..Im super excited..And very thankful to have this group as a support system because Im only telling 1 person about the surgery.

I'm only telling one person too. My mother. But it doesn't matter haw many people you tell but the support you receive from your person/persons. Best of luck!

Yesterday was first day of pre-op diet and I thought it went well. Around 10 pm I noticed a rash on my neck and face and it continued today.

Went to the dr and he thinks I'm allergic to the whey in my shakes. Ordered a new type w/o whey but what a pain in the a$$.

On a positive note I lost 2 lbs.

Sorry about the rash, but congrats on the 2 lbs.. you are on your way to being a loser!!!

Wow, seems like we can't catch a break. But at least UK the issue now n can change to somthn different. Thx for sharing bc at least we will know what to do if it happens to us. Gr8j on the first day and two lbs gone, woohooo. Gl on the other days:)

To all my sister/brother Dec. 2nd sleevers! OMG!!! Before I start I'd like to say "Thank you God" for this support group. Okay, so I just came from my post-op appointment and finally meet my surgeon. That's another OMG! He was so tall, handsome, great personality and what a hand shake! I'm so glad that my husband wasn't with me:) Everything is set and on track. I start my liquid diet on Monday. 3 Protein shakes and liquids:( I'm not too much worried about Thanksgiving. My plan is to send my husband and son down the street to the neighbors for dinner. I'll take myself to the movies during dinner. It actually feels good to not have to worry about stuffing myself silly and then regretting it the next day. Then after my regrets I stuff away again. Not anymore. Too all of my Dec. 2nd's whose already started your liquid diet, Hang in there!

Here We Go!

Hello! I am getting sleeved on Dec 3rd I just got confirmation yesterday. Was instructed to start my liquid diet that day. I was unable to get everything to start liquid on such short notice so I started it today. It has been a long day.

I am excited, and scared, and nervous, and oh gosh really just a big ball of emotions, a big ball of hungry emotions! Lol

Happy to have found fellow Dec sleevers!

So glad my surgery time was moved from 4pm to 12pm on the 2nd. While I would prefer an earlier time, this will work.

That was one good thing about making my appointment back in September - I got to claim the first surgery time I had no desire to sit around and wait.

I went to my last PCP appt today (actually finished my 6-month supervised diet with PCP in Oct but due to delays with processing I had to keep going until surgery) and I was down another 14.5 lbs!! I've lost 33.5 lbs since starting this journey in March! Super excited for my Dec date to get here!

hey guys im new to this forum. Im getting my sleeve done in Tijuana on December 30th, just wondering if anyone else wil be there at the same time?

Hi Mbindra! We are surgery date buddies! There are 4 others on the 30th. We call ourselves the "caboose" for December Sleevers.... We can learn so much from all the people who are earlier on the month! I'm getting my VSG in Massachusetts.
