Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

November 11th here! I am scheduled to do my pre-op H&P (including EKG, chest x-ray, lab work, etc ) on 10/22. My pre-op diet is scheduled to start 10/28, but I am really thinking about starting it 10/21 to make sure my liver shrinks enough to reduce the risk of surgery being cancelled. My liver labs were a bit elevated a few months ago and I don't even want to chance having my surgery cancelled once they cut me open. If I lose a few extra pounds before surgery that is a little bit more that I am ahead of the game on!

Me, too! I'm second guessing my decision but I know that's only natural. My only valid concern is whether I'll have a lot of loose skin, and I actually doubt that I will so I just have to tell myself to relax and put it in Gods hands.

November 25th for me. Pre op diet on the 15th, and pre op exam on the 10th. So no thanksgiving for me, but that's ok. Now I'm just in the waiting game now. For those going ahead of us, please let us know how it goes. Good luck everyone.

Where are you? I'm on the 25th too-louisiana

OMG...I thought I was the only one bagging up old clothes. I started sorting clothes and getting rid of the big stuff I really don't like. My Support Group, recommended by my doctor has a clothes exchange for every stage. I am funny about buying my own stuff but can't wait to start donating. You should see if your Support Group has something like that, so you can donate to others going through this process.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
