TnTPoP Sayin' "Hi!"



Recommended Posts

"Hi" :)

I'm new and about to get sleeved on the 18th. I am scared and excited at the same time. I have been doing research for over 5 years and decided to self pay the sleeve.

I have about 80 pounds to lose but have acquired 6 co morbid diseases along the way that motivated my Doctor to convince me that it was "time".

I'll pop in from time to time to say "hi" but I am always lurking...

TNTPOP means Trinity and Troy's pop... Those are my kids... I am their Pop :biggrin0: TNT also goes pop... but that's not.. oh well you get it :thumbup:

Congratulations TNTPOP. Trinity and Troy will be very excited to be able to run and play with their father. This site has been very helpful for me. Feel free to ask whatever thoughts you may have before surgery.

Welcome! Your surgery is the day after mine! I think it's going to be a very good week. I had to smile when I saw your name because I was raised in Ohio and called my father "pop".

      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.
