I am so happy I got sleeved!



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

almost a year ago on June 25th I was sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Aceves.

I couldn't be happier! I have lost an amazing 95 pounds off my 5'3 frame!

I didn't have any complications other than frequent heartburn, but oh well!

Dr. Aceves and his staff were so wonderful, it was a great start to my journey.

I have been stuck, and am struggling to get to my personal goal of 100 pounds, I really wanted it by my 1 year surgiversary, so I'm increasing my Protein and exercise in hopes that I get closer to it.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with my choice!

Hang in there, you can do it!

You know, there are a few that have some short term goals... a few pounds before 100#, etc. Some are doing the 5DPT, what do you think of starting a thread and everyone who has a short term goal joining in?

Is that something folks would be interested in?

Congratulations on your success. I have no doubt you'll make all your goals and I look forward to following your progress.

How would you like it set up? Where would you like the threads? How do you want it set up? Do you want a thread for a 5DPT/Getting Back On Track?

Or do you want a subsection of short term and a subsection of long term goals?

Tell me how you would like to do it and I will.

(Actually, Elisabeth is a whole lot better at setting up subsections!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
