calling all December 2016 sleevers!

I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

  • Just wanted you all to know my surgery went very well today. The afternoon after I didn't get the right dosage of pain meds and nausea meds so I was miserable. Once the Doctor came to see me he adjust

  • Hi bariatric fan... surgery was done yesterday. The gas pain was awful yesterday and kept me nauseated. I was feeling really bad. But I walked and used my incentive spirometer for breathing exercise

I'm on day 2 of the pre-op liquid diet! I've been heating up my Premier Protein shakes to warm up! The chocolate heated up is similar to having a nice mug of Hot Cocoa.

Nothing like doing a liquid diet in freezing Minnesota. So so cold. The thought of having a SF popsicle really doesn't do anything for me other than make me colder. I'll stick with my heated up shakes, coffee/tea and heated broth! :)

@Dknal2.. i m doin so so i think., still hav pain from the holes made.. biggest problem is gas.. it puts excessive pressure in my chest n whn i try to eat it gets terrible.. i m taking my medicines but still.. lost only 8lbs.. i m terribly craving something sweet, deres always dis bitter taste on my mouth.. i cant walk fast.. sleeping wit soft pillows by my side to support my belly.. its kinda difficult fr me till now.. i m nt yet confident to go back to my regular lifestyle.. spending days at home.. thank u fr asking Dknal2.. take care
