Full fluid diet...cream soup
goingforgold replied to Can'tweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am right there with you Can'tweight, I can easily have a can of soup and then want more an hour later. I am very worried that I am going to be that 1 in a million failures. I am only 17 days out and starving. All soups make me want to gag now. I took 2 bites of lowfat cottage cheese and thought I was in heaven. I am just want some food I can chew!!!!!!! -

goingforgold replied to Can'tweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can probably eat 1 - 1 1/2 cups. That worries me!! I fight head hunger all the time with all the commercials and seeing others eating. I guess I'm not one of the lucky one's who has lost their hunger. That makes me real sad. -
Hey, I am 53 and 6 days out from my sleeve. I am not sure if it is my age or something else going on bu still have a tremendous amount of pain after standing or walking for about 3 mins. I am going to call the dr. Monday morning. With the 2 week pre op diet and 1 week sleeved I have lost 13 lbs. I love having a 50's forum.

On the other side of the rainbow
goingforgold posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a difficult time with the anesthesia day 1 and 2. Day 3 is so much better. I am thinking about food way more than I anticipated. It feels more like a mental test than a physical thing. Hopefully this will pass. -
My surgery is in the morning at 8:30. Excited and totally freaked!

I fell off the pre-op diet wagon last night.

I am right there with ya sister. I am scheduled for 03/07 with Dr. Nick. I lost it tonight. I started out with a salad and by the time I was done I had eaten 15 fish sticks, the salad and a blueberry bagel. Now I am stalking the pantry like a rapid dog. Please tell me it gets easier! -

Welcome Getting Sleeved. Thanks for adding me to your friends. Let me know how the journey goes for. I am still scheduled for 3/7 but with all the snow and ice here I am having trouble getting appointments for the pre op test.

March 7th for me with Dr. Nick -
The pre-op diet STINKS.
goingforgold replied to VSGandMe2011 (DisneyMomma)'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey, I am with Dr. Nick as well. I start the pre-op 2/21 with my surgery date 03/07. I must say I am concerned with my ability to stick with the pre-op diet. Perhaps we will meet at one of support group meetings. Others I know that have been sleeved have very positive things to say about the group sessions. Good Luck and Keep us posted. -
Do you mind telling me what brand of juicer you got. I have been considering getting one but then get overwhelmed with all the choices.

Anyone have experience with Dr. Nick Nicholson?
goingforgold replied to raven_magnolia's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dr. Nicholson is my Doctor. I have my first appointment with him on 1/28 and will get my surgery date then. I have been very pleased with his office staff so far. My insurance will only allow a select few doctors and hospital. I will be going to Baylor in Plano. My brother used Dr. Nick five years ago and has done very well. He highly recommends him. Hope this helps. -

My doctor is Nick Nicholson and I will be at Baylor Plano. I thought that I would have surgery over spring break. How soon did you go back to work after being sleeved? I might drive you nuts asking questions. I have not told anybody at work and the one friend I did tell freaked out.
I too have TRS BCBS, I think I will call Monday.

Thank you so much for responding to me. I am in Plano ISD. I have not been sleeved yet. It was just sent to my ins. 12/27. I am so glad to hear things are well for you. Where are you in Texas?
