Not Sleeved!

So where should be 3 days post op I'm not sleeved. Why? Cause I found out Sunday my insurance was cancelled due to the fact my ex husband has been off work cause he had surgery on his hand and his disability hasn't kicked in yet. So pissed right now. Now I have to wait until he goes back to work which won't be until the end of July. Luckily my approval from the insurance stands until I get it done so Idon't have to do everything over again. I'll just have to go preop testing and maybe get clear through cardiology again but hopefully not. So my wait continues!!!

10 Days Til Surgery!

My surgery date is June 5th. I start my preop liquid protein diet on Tuesday. Am I wrong to feel like I want to eat everything I know I won't be able to eat anymore in the next couple of days? That's how I feel right now. My post surgery diet will be very restricted. First 2 weeks clear liquids. Weeks 3-8 add protein shakes and strained cream of soups. Week 9 can start adding soft blenderized foods but still at a practically pale pourable consistency. Week 10 can start chewing foods to pasty consistency. My doctor believes in letting the stomach heal lol which is a good thing. Sleeve patients diets are the most restricted out of the 3 surgeries. I've gotten my post op meds and foods mostly chicken broth and crystal light lol. Now I just have to get my binder and I'm ready!!!

First Entry

I have been on here for about 6 weeks and it has given me alot of info. I am in my 2nd month of my 6 month process and cant wait for these next 4 months to go by!!! Went to my doctors appt yesterday and I've gained 2lbs!! Some would be upset by this but for me it was okay because my bmi is right at 40 and if I lose any weight I wont qualify so I have been obsessed with not losing weight in fear of not qualifing. My dietitian has me on a plan not to lose weight but to focus on learning my post surgery eating habits. The hardest part so far has been the not drinking anything while eating and learning to actually sip and not gulp. I hate when people look at me and say "you dont need to do that just exercise". I carry my weight well the surgeon even looked at me kinda funny at our first meeting lol until he had me pull my shirt up and he was like "ok now I see youre all middle" how funny is that

Finally!

I have recieved approval for my surgery!!! I am so happy right now. I must admit when I initally got the approval I got scared and had to ask my self is this really what I want to do. After that 2seconds past my answer is YESSS!!!. Now I can really start my program cause I was so scared of not getting approved that I wanted to keep the weight on in case I had to jump through some hoops. Crazy huh? It actually only took 2days for the approval to come through. Now my journey really begins. My last appt and preop work up will be on May23 and my surgery is scheduled for June 5!!!!
