I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

Hey guys I got a surgery date for Feb. 8, 2017. I'll be having surgery in NJ.

Still haven't been approved by insurance yet tho. Very nervous about it actually as I have gained a couple of pounds due to the holidays and scared they might think I'm not serious about surgery . 8 pounds to be exact from the last time they weighed me.

I am 5'5 and weigh 248 now. When the first weighed me I was 240 in November

Really can't wait for the next 3 weeks to fly by and I hope I get approved!!

Good luck my feb. sleevers !!!! I will keep y'all updated .

Hi im new to this site and my surgery is on February 21st looking forward to sharing my experience with you all.

Awesome! Absolutely, we should!

How is everyone doing? Anyone on their pre op diet yet? I started to eat healthy and do some cleanses before my technical pre op diet just so I know I'm lowering the visceral fat (fat around organs) to help with surgery. My Surgery is Feb 9th. I feel like it's all I think about. I'm totally consumed by the pre op, post op guidelines...the surgery, everything. It's all that's going through my head. Can't focus on anything else. I want it done and over with so I can move on to healing.

It is all consuming, isn't it? This may sound crazy, but I never realized how much of an emotional eater I am/was until I had that first consultation. We went to Red Lobster afterwards and I kept eating until I was in pain. Since, I've caught myself doing it many and many times, I think from the stress of this process among other things. Or maybe I'm binging because I know I can't soon enough. I don't know. It's all so....confusing, sometimes.

But I was going to ask, have you guys ever watched the YouTube vlogs on life after wls? I find myself crying each and every time when they're still in the hospital, signing the last of the papers before being rolled away into surgery. That signature is a goodbye to your old self, all the heartache and self hatred. It's a goodbye to the 'I wills and I can'ts because of my weight'. It's putting all your chips on the table and gambling for a better life, because now you've found the right road to who you were meant to be all along, and now, finally, you're putting your past to bed.

Yeah, what a powerful moment <3

Yes!! My date is Feb. 8th and Im buying something new everyday(gas x,Isopure etc.)It's giving me anxiety. BTW..what type of cleanse are you doing?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using the BariatricPal App

I know right. I even bought like toddler fork and knife and toddler plates lol so I can get used to portion sizes. I'm doing isagenix 30 day cleanse. 2 Protein shakes a day and healthy meal for supper. And then 2 days a week, for the first and second week are "cleanse days". When you use their juice and supplements. I've done their cleanses a lot. It worked really well for me in the past. I'm going to continue using their shakes and stuff post op because it has a lot of Vitamins and nutrients. However, some doctors say there is too much sugar. But the sugar is natural source and for all the other nutrients it has, it outweighs any other Proteins I have researched. My doctor is on board with it. So that's good haha. Also cleanse days are meant to lower visceral fat which is fat around organs! Like the liver and stomach, which we need haha. It's win win. Not the easiest thing to do but I know it's working.
