December 2018 Sleevers!

  • Popular Post

Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

you might surprise yourself. My surgery is 12/19 and for thanksgiving I found I really didn't want much and didn't eat much I'm so excited about starting that liquid diet in a couple of weeks then having my surgery until I don't want to start adding extra pounds now that I'm so close.

I've been doing the 2 premier shakes and then a lean cusine dinner and gave lost 6 pounds in 2-1/2 weeks. All my coworkers know I'm doing this to get into the habit of eating right and when I return to work after being out for a few weeks they'll know it's paying off! :)

I am new to this forum. I am a teacher, so I scheduled my sleeve surgery during our 2 week Christmas break. My surgery date is December 26th...the day after Christmas! I’m both excited and nervous. It’s exactly ONE MONTH away!!! I’m excited to have found this forum, so we can encourage and support one another on this journey!??
