February 2017 Sleevers

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
