Being Sleeved In 3 Days!

NewJourneyMom

433 views

Good morning everyone! I am 3 days from being sleeved and getting really excited! I am ready to get this journey going into full swing. I have been on my pre-op since 7/2/12 and going good for the most part. I am finding it hard to get all six of my protein shakes in - usually about 9 or 10 before I get the final one in! Also having trouble getting my water in. Some days I do fairly well, and others are horrible. I just get busy with the kiddos and taking care of the house that I just don't do it. I have lost 13lbs since July 1st so that makes me happy, but can't help but wonder if it would be more if I was getting that last shake in earlier or if I was getting all of my water in? Any thoughts on this?

 

Looking for good tips/advice/and take-alongs before I go to the hospital on Monday. What made your hospital journey easier for you? What would you have taken/not taken? I look forward to reading your suggestions and tips.

 

 

Good bye for now.

Hi will be sleeved in 3 days also. I started my pre op diet on July 1st. I only have to drink 4 shakes a day and then my water and clear liquids like broth, jello, and popsicles. So far I have done good except when I got bad news on Tuesday, I back on track now and the weight is still coming off. We will be packing before we no it! Good luck to everyone! Hsve a wonderful weekend.

One thing I highly recommend...after surgery when you have to cough, if you have to cough, hold a pillow to and into your tummy. It helps tremendously! A heating pad was soooo very wonderful for me.

The one thing I recommend...a POSITIVE attitude! Makes a world of difference.

Some people don't have pain, but...most do and just expect it.

Check out my blog if you want to read about my experiences.

YEAH! Very happy for you. Your life is going to change...make it a positive, healthy life change. It is up to you. Congratulations and I can't wait to read your future posts.

One Love.
