Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was becoming very nervous about this whole thing, I have insurance approval and will get my date at my pre-op visit this Friday. Anyway . . . the nerves were gaining on me until I was in Stage the other day and I started looking at all the cute clothes. Normally, I would feel sad because I can't fit in them. Instead the nerves backed off and I was really happy browsing through these clothes that I will be able to wear soon enough!!!

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.

This liquid diet is no joke...it is hard. I've got a lot of willpower though and I know I can

do it. It is just hard.

I'm also weening off of caffeine for the next 2 weeks...now that's no joke!

Well tomorrow I start my FOUR week liquid diet consisting of boost diabetic and good old fashioned Water.

It's going to be a tough 4 weeks, but I have been waiting over 2 years for this! I am excited and scared. It's finally happening and I want it all to turn out and be as stress free as possible.

Do you guys have good support at home?

Sheena :-)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
