Just wondering if there are any February 2017 sleevers here yet? I have my 3 month weight check on Monday and was told last month we will look at surgery dates and to plan for a date in February. I'm still struggling with not drinking while I eat but once I catch myself I stop but geesh you wouldn't think I would still be reaching for something to drink at this point. I've been told to make sure I get 21-26 gms of Protein with each meal, only 3 meals no Snacks in between meal and drink plenty of Water. I have a hard time finding a variety of protein meals as I don't do fish other than tuna and only eat pork, beef and chicken. I do the Premiere Protein shakes that have 30 gms but was told not to do them on a regular. With my job, if it wasn't for the shakes, I wouldn't be getting anything in as I rarely have a chance to take an actual lunch.

Anyone else having struggles at this point and scheduled for February surgery?

I started this back in Oct but didn't have a date yet. My date has been set for Valentine's Day. It was initially 2/16 but they had to move it up two days.

Please share your dates, excitement, worries and what knot.

Hi. I am having surgery on February 2 in Tennessee, and can hardly wait.

The board says I am having lap band but I am having the gastric sleeve. When I started researching way back when, I was going to have lab band

Scheduled Feb. 6th, in Tijuana. I'm feeling good about everything, looking for recipes to have on hand when I get some. Soups, etc. Trying to plan ahead and have lots done before I fly out. I'm a little anxious about flying back home after surgery... hope I'm feeling well.

Disneyfan good luck. I too was thinking the band when I first started this back in 2014 and decided after hearing more about it and the sleeve that I would do the sleeve. I had completed everything I needed to except scheduling the surgery and I chickened out plus I had lost 30 lbs and seconded guessed if I even needed the surgery since I was doing so well and they had finally gotten my thyroid under control. Two years and regaining the 30 lost plus an additional 30 here I am again and there will be no changing of the mind. I can't wait.

Littlesuzu good luck to you as well. I have safe travels both ways. If I find any good recipes, I'll try to share them here.

My date is tentatively scheduled for February 20th. My last nutritional visit is Monday. Once insurance approves, then I'll be ready! My pre-op appt is January 24th.

I am excited about this journey and looking for bariatric friendly recipes for afterwards. Right now I drink Atkins protein shakes. Im.not a fan of premier.

Mine is scheduled for the 21 of February with Longtern Vsg in Tijuana Mexico I'm nervous but very excited !

Both my mother & I are having surgery on Feb 13th & my best friend on Feb 14th in Tijuana. I was initially planning on having the surgery alone. When I spoke to my mother about what I was planning on doing, she mentioned she wanted to have the surgery. We were able to get both surgeries scheduled the same day. About a week later I told my best friend about our upcoming surgeries & she informed me she too wanted to have the surgery. I gave her the contact info for the surgical center and they were able to schedule her surgery one day after ours. I'm so blessed to have my mother & best friend, join me on this journey.

My last appointment is 1/11 after approval I'll get a date their saying possibly early February.

I'm scheduled for February 8th. Start my pre op diet January 25th.

February 9th in Tijuana.

Hello. My surgery is scheduled for February 17th! It was suppose to be the 27th of January but I have a 9 month old and 5 year old with my fiancé out of town until 2/15 so I had to reschedule sadly. But I'm super excited and have a couple more weeks to practice eating good food the right way. If anyone decides to start up a "secret" Facebook group let me know since I'm not making it public... yet. so I find it hard to post on the other groups.
