I just met with my surgeon today, I was supposed to originally have my surgery dec. 30th buts since I have two blood clotting disorders they want to move it up to either the 2nd or the 9th.. My bday is the 11th. New year new beginnings can't wait! This is all pending my bosses approval of course :(

Hello all! I hope you'll have me as I just got my date today, 12/01/14!! I thought I would be in Nov but due to the holidays and my surgeon only doing surgery 2 days a week I was pushed into December. Not bad at all ????

I had the surgery back in June, but my daughters are both scheduled Dec 8th. We will be having shakes during the day and a small Protein (turkey) and salad plate for dinner. No way would I bring out a big spread when I know they can't eat that stuff. My hubby is on board too. He said he would go to the neighbors for his pumpkin pie! Christmas will be exactly the same as both will still be on a liquid diet. Next year during the holidays we will go to a warm beachy resort and food will again not be our focus... But for different reasons. We will be having too much fun romping in the ocean in our bikinis!!!!

Crystalsleeve, thanks for the kind words. I will admit my oldest daughter has seen my success and decided to get on board and have the sleeve surgery also, but my youngest daughter and I had planned on doing this together from the very beginning when we started the preop testing, etc way back in Dec 2013. My insurance approved my surgery but her insurance denied her (twice). So I went through with the surgery in June and every time she and I went shopping for clothes it was always bittersweet. My dress sizes going down each time was a great feeling for me, but it still broke my heart because she was not on her own journey to ONEderland. She was happy for me and never let it show that it hurt her as well. So their surgeries in Dec 2014 will put them on the positive track of self confidence and self love. I cannot wait for all 3 of us to be on this journey together!

Good luck to all the December sleevers!!!! Having already had this surgery I can tell you it is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!!! I started out at 226, wearing size 16W pants and now, 4 months later, I weigh 172, and am wearing size 12 petite (even those are a bit big)! I never imagined I could get into that size and now I wonder if 8s are in my future. OMG!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
