Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

Aug. 26 is my date. I'm nervous, and a little scared (I'm a big baby about pain) and not looking forward to being in the hospital...but I'm totally ready to start my new life!

I'm soooooooo excited and nervous and ready! I've decided to put together some BEFORE pics, painful as it is, and log every step of this journey. I want to look back a year from now and see my progress . I want to remember where I started from and never go back! August 1st hurry up!

I was planning to do the same thing! I was going to ask my mom to do a whole bunch of befores but she's really sick so i might have to suck it up and have my hubby do it.

Looks like a lot of us are scheduled for August 5th (including me)!

August 18th here...yeeeeeah baby!

*doing a happy dance*

I have to do an Optifast diet for three weeks before, starting July 28th.

So doing the food funeral right now.

Ice cream is on my grocery list for today and I....don't....care.

*evil wicked grin*

My surgery is August 4th.

4th of July holiday and switch in surgery schedules to every other Friday has put me into August now. August 1st is looking like my new date for sleeve surgery!

We were in the same July Sleevers group but I found out my date might get changed to August too! Won't know till Tuesday but we'll see.

It's frustrating to say the least. I'm to anxious trying to think about something else.

I'm hoping for August date. I have my last appt on the 14th for it to go to insurance approval. I'm staying on top of everything. My surgeons office has everything but my NUT consult. Currently they are doing end of July into August scheduling. I'm hoping it goes quickly.

Good luck

My date is August 4th. I'm doing the food funeral thing too.

I've been eating ice cream a lot too.

*evil-er wicked-er grin*

**I know there are no such words as evil-er & wicked-er. I just like the way they sound.**

I've been enjoying my food funerals a lot lately. When I got my EGD last week. I found out I actually lost a few pounds. WTH??? My metabolism is all out if whack. I can't wait to get the surgery and to start a new chapter in my life. Good luck everybody. WE GOT THIS!!!

Hope you do not mind, but I am scheduled for July 29...so would like to be a part of this group as well bc I am so close to August. I am trying to begin my pre-op diet slowly and have been doing one Protein drink a day, but with almond milk and fruit. Very hungry...struggling!!

Haha I'm all too familiar with the food funerals lately. Oreos, doritoes, ice cream cake, and every type of carb centered big dinners. I'm already getting sick of the goodies. By the time my pre op diet is here I think my body will like it.
