It is so encouraging to see there are others who are looking forward to their surgeries in December. I met with my surgeon on September 21st and was told that if I had lab work done and have my Psychological exam I would be set for a December 16th surgery date. This was quite a surprise as at the orientation meeting I was told it would more than likely be six months out or more. I went from looking forward to 2016 to celebrating in 2015. Here is to a blessed Christmas and a fabulous New Year to everyone in this group.

So, my December surgery buddies, does anyone else find themselves just stopping and looking at all the foods in the grocery store you no longer desire to eat due to changing your eating habits for the better? I am almost positive that the workers at my local grocery store think that i have "officially lost it"! I stand in front of the bakery displays, icecream freezers, and the rows of Cookies and chips for minutes at a time. I don't buy anything, just stand there and stare. In my head I am having quite the dialogue in regards to my not needing it anymore. It is quite empowering to walk away, just a little funny for everyone else to watch I am sure.

Sandra,

This is awesome. It is so nice to meet someone on the timeline as myself. Thanks so much for the offer of being my friend on Facebook, but I am mostly on it for work and do not really want to be discussing this for all to see. :P If you have email, mine is shylarose@juno.com. I would love to keep in touch so we can encourage each other along the way. :)

Hi Everyone! I'm tentatively scheduled for 4th of December! I'm excited to find this forum because the people that DO know I'm getting sleeved are saying I should wait until January because of the "holidays!" I'm wondering if they're thinking of ME or everyone else that I cook for etc. It is a busy time, I know, and I do have some obligations... but what are your thoughts?

Well, you are the first so far out of the group for your surgery date. I am super excited for you. You will have to keep us posted as to how it goes for you.

Oh, the holidays. I know, right? Maybe I am being uber positive, but I don;t think it will be that bad. My family is very supportive and so I don't think they will make a big deal about what I can or cannot eat, or if I cook or don't cook. But, I am single and do not have a husband and kids to worry about.

The tough part for me will be to not absentmindedly pick up food as it is everywhere. I have decided to put a Water bottle in one hand and a Protein shake in the other and not put them down every moment that I am awake. That way I will not be able to pick up anything I am not supposed to. :P

      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?

      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
