May 2014 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Congrats! I totally understand about your excitement and fear. I feel the exact same way. I've read too many stories about things that can go wrong and it worries me. I think that's normal, though, don't you? I've only bought a liquid Multivitamin and Calcium chews so far, haven't bought vit d or B12 yet. I drink Chike almost every day, and I love it! Not only does it taste good to me, but I like the fact that it is a Meal Replacement shake, not just Protein, so it has Vitamins in it as well. The strawberry is my fave, but I've had them all, and they are all good.

Thanks Ladybug123! I'm going to order some and I'll let you know!

I'm so flooded with emotions!! I talked to my nurse yesterday and she confirmed that May will be my month!!! I have all my evals done and they all went great. Next steps are waiting to hear back from insurance, visit to my PCP, pre-surgery information class on May first, and getting my official surgery date of course. I am going to be trying so hard to get adjusted to this new life in advance best I can but boy is that harder then I thought it would be! Lol!

Congrats Emarie! I too am trying to prepare ahead of time by adjusting eating habits. I am completely off of soda, thanks to It being Easter season and me giving up sodas for lent. I figure why torture myself and start them up again after Easter only to have to give them up again a few weeks later. I've been making a point of eating Breakfast daily and having a snack of V8 and low fat snack crackers (single serving pack) in the afternoon so that I won't over eat at supper. I'm only having single portions, no seconds. And I've really been working on increasing my Water intake... Up to between 40 and 60oz a day. I plan on starting my pre-op diet a month out instead of the required two weeks although I will modify it and add more fruits and veggies than I will be allowed 2 weeks pre-op. I plan on starting a daily walk next week. And I need to get started on my Vitamins as well! I'm so excited for my new life to begin and so ready to have my surgery! I'm terribly nervous and somewhat scared but all in all, I think I'm ready! Keep us posted with your date! Mine is 5/24/14 in Tijuana, Mexico.

Congrats! I'm trying to adjust as well but not doing great on getting my Water in every day. I gave up soda 7 months ago and I had to quit smoking. I think giving up soda was harder than the cigs!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
