For all you that are getting sleeved in December, what preparations and products are you purchasing? What are you doing to get ready?

@@Ronab My surgery isn't until 12/18 but I started prepping a few weeks ago. Here's what I've done.

3 weeks ago I slowly weaned myself off caffeine.

2 weeks ago I gave up alcohol and started chewing each SMALL bite of food 30 times.

1 week ago I started REALLY pushing getting my Water in.

This past weekend I had my last carbonated beverage and am now Water or Decaf tea only.

This week I also started a liver/kidney detox tea.

This week I am also replacing 1 meal a day with a Protein shake, just to get in gear for my 2 week pre-op diet that starts on 12/4.

On the Monday after Thanksgiving I am going to start 2 shake replacements a day.

Another thing I have done is I took a cardboard box and covered it in a really pretty paper (the kind with the sticky back) and I'm keeping all my pre-op and post-op items in there. I have several brands and samples of Protein shakes, a new thermometer, GENEPRO, Biotene mouth spray, Gas-X strips, lip balm (for hospital), a Glade plug-in (for hospital), a brand new water bottle, and other things.

You are awesome!

I wish I could be so structured lol

That's great, you reminded me I have to cut my caffeine out, gradually.

Best of luck to you :)

Great tips bobbyswife! Only thing I have been doing so far is rubbing down daily with coconut oil and taking Gelatin capsules to help with skin elasticity...fingers crossed. I have been using an egg and oils as a preshampoo hair mask every other week to increase Protein in my hair. I did look up GENEPRO. Anyone tried it? I know we should use whey isolate instead of the other casein blends. I was leaning towards ordering Unjury unflavored. I am also planning to order their opurity Vitamins because i wld only need one a day. Anyone concerned about wound after care? Do we use gauze or just large square bandaids? I read warm soapy Water is best and nothing else.

I have seen a ton of requests for a Facebook group for December sleevers, so I created one. The name of the group is:



BP December Sleevers & Mentors



The group is a closed group, and will only be for those of us on BP that are being sleeved in December. Also if you have a mentor you are welcome to invite them as well.



You can find the group very easily by just searching by the group name, so please come and join!



Let me know if you have any problems.



Michelle

      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!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
