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!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Just had my cup of low sodium chicken broth for brunch.. looking forward to some turkey and veggies for dinner later.. at least it's real food..lol

Doc said it was okay--3 oz turkey, 8oz of veggies and that's it.. then a cup of broth later this evening ...so I don't wake up hungry.. and water, water, water..

Found out I have to do all clear liquids on Saturday and Sunday...OY! I've managed so far because at least I could have actual food and a chocolate protein shake.. now all clear just broth, water and protein shots pretty much.. now that is going to be a little harder..guess I'll clean again this weekend too..lol My house hasn't been this bright and shiny since I moved in..a few years back! I've hit every corner, organized every cabinet and drawer, turned over furniture, pulled out appliances, etc. This time maybe I'll scrub all the tile with a toothbrush..haha..

Dec. 11 here! Today was my first day of high protein diet!

Dec. 11here also, going to enjoy Thanksgiving and start preop diet tomorrow.

Hi KatSeattle, I'm in Everett. My surgery is 12/16. Welcome!

Hi KatSeattle, I'm in Everett. My surgery is 12/16. Welcome!

Happy Turkey Day to all the December Sleevers!

Happy thanksgiving! I'm going about this day as usual lol bombing my stomach. Saturday I'll start doing mostly shakes cause I know ill prob gain some pounds lol

Any December Sleevers out there from the Louisville area? Getting so excited for Monday!!!

Thanksgiving was my biggest challenge yet on this pre op diet. Our party of 20 motored through a 29 pound turkey and lots of great stuff. My wife and I did all the cooking so I had it all right in my face.

But, I held strong and have only consumed 500 calories today.

Happy Thanksgiving December sleeve family!! For some,this was our last holiday meal for awhile! Looking forward to these next few weeks listening to everyone's surgery success stories and can't wait to share mine (dec 20)!! Lots of love to all!

Hi everyone! I'm not 100% sure how to navigate this site, but wanted to say hi from Canada and share my surgery date of Dec 5th. I'm anxious and running the full gamut of emotions!

Hello Everyone!! I'm 48, currently 300, but 345 was my highest. I started this journey at 324 and my surgery date is December 17th. This site has been a Godsend for me.

Dec 16Th.. here. all tests completed .. well need one more blood test. When i started this journey the found out i have Hasimotos so lots of blood tests...i feel like a pin cushion . but it will all be worth it!!

Welcome to all of the new folks!! Monday is coming up so fast! I know all of you Dec. 2 sleevers most be so anxious!

I have a work deadline of Saturday night so I cannot update the list until Saturday or Sunday but did want to pop on here and welcome everyone!

My preop diet starts Saturday for my Dec 13 date.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had our best ever!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great thanksgiving. I have to say, I am thankful for this site because I have learned so much throughout this journey and couldn't have done it without you all.

So today I have to do an MRI since my cardiologist is having me do thousands of tests before she clears me. Grrr. (Had coarctation of aorta 13yrs ago) which is at 2:45. Not nervous at all. Then....

My psych evaluation is today at 5:30. I am really really nervous about it. What should I expect? How long does it take? Any input will be very helpful. I couldn't sleep all night thinking about it.
