I'm so HAPPY with the SLEEVE!!!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share. I 'm so happy, I could CRY thats because I have lost a total of 33 lbs. I had a little stall a few weeks ago. My hair is coming out, but I think it's a good thing, it shows that this surgery worked and the weight is coming off. As compared to the lap band. This is so, so, so MUCH better!!! I have not really kicked in a lot of exercise either. I walk about 3 days a week about 30 minutes around the neighborhood. With the lap band I lost 17 lbs then gained it all back plus more. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for reading......

I am happy for you baby girl. The sleeve really is a great thing. The weight will just keep coming off. I agree, it's way better than the band.

      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.
