Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone interested in a secret group on Facebook? I find FB easer to use then this app and it would be a great way to keep up with all November sleevers. Also secret groups are completely private so your FB friends will not see anything you post or even know that you are in the group.

Yes, I am interested! My date is Nov. 17 and with the pre-op diet plan coming up, my anxiety, preparing for THE day, etc., it would be wonderful to have support of those going through the same thing especially at the same time.

Hello. I'm an October Sleever actually. Just joined this site today. I am 8 days post-op from Lap-Band to Sleeve Conversion. My doctor was able to do both at the same time, thank God! Things are going well so far just tired of the liquid diet, ready to move on. My post-op visit is next week, really looking forward to finding out how much I've lost, decided not to purchase a scale to keep from over-obsessing about the weight. I feel pretty light though, Lol! I'm at home another week so if anyone has any questions about my experience, I'm free to chat.

Congrats!! Did you take 2 weeks off? Do you feel ready to go back to work? I am taking 2 weeks but my surgeons office just told me 2-4 depending on how I feel. I don't get paid time off so I want to return ASAP but I don't want to be unrealistic either! :)

Hi Yes I am taking two weeks and a few days. Not sure if I'll be ready to go back when time. I ventured out today to the nail salon because I got tired of laying around but was exhausted by the time I got back home. Didn't do anything but sit for mani/pedi. I know I'm not getting all of my liquids. It's easier said than done especially with trying to get all the Protein in and the Multivitamins and prescribed meds. It's overwhelming. I'm not going to complain though, I know the end result is going to be great!! :)

I'm scheduled for 11/24. I will also be having my gall bladder removed. Hope that added surgery doesn't prolong recover -- I'm scheduled to take 2 weeks off...... I'm very excited and am looking forward to the new lighter me!

I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago...I recovered very quickly and didn't need any pain meds once I got home. It's recovering from anesthesia that takes a while, so you will be doing that anyway with your WLS. Good for you, getting it removed at the same time!

My surgery is November 10. I would like to be added to the fb group also. It is my 3rd day of 14 day preop liquid diet. It is going okay I even made it through my boyfriend eating McDonalds in front of me on the 1st day.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
