Calling all Sleevers for week of 12-15-10!!



Recommended Posts

(arrrrgh, can't edit the title! That should read 12-25-10!)

OK! I hope nobody minds but it seems that there are quite a few of us headed for surgery next Monday and that week... I figured it might be helpful to have kind of a central thread for us to get together for a little group therapy LOL-- I dunno about you guys but I literally have this on my mind 100% of my waking hours, including when I'm doing something else...talking about something else, working, watching TV, whatever. I'm taking it to mean there's a little anxiety there. :001_smile:

Are you scared? Nervous? Anxious? Excited? So far I'm slightly anxious and very excited. I expect not to get much sleep Sunday night and to be very anxious and maybe a little nervous the morning of--I've never had major surgery before.

So... I know there are a bunch, so who all's scheduled for next week?

I'm very excited. Surgery is scheduled for June, seminar in April. I'm going out of state, back home to Texas. I've got plenty of time to research obsessively, which suits me just fine! I think about it all the time, even if I get up at 3 AM to go to the bathroom, it's on my mind. Some times I am sorry I didn't plan on doing it sooner so I could stop obsessing about every little detail, but June just 'works' for us!

Stacy160,

I know what you mean :). I'm flying to San Diego Sunday for surgery Monday and I cannot wait. I know my family and close friends are getting tired of hearing me talk about it. I wake up in the mornings prior to my alarm clock going off and can't go back to sleep. I read everything I can find about it (good and bad). Ready to get this show on the road.

      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.
