Help, two months or so to go before sleeved!



Recommended Posts

And I feel lika big, fat sausage.

I have gained 10 lbs since my band unfill the first of march,

and I am worried about what might happen before I get the surgery.

The doc has to remove my band(maybe week after next) wait 1-2 months for my stomach to heal, then i will get sleeved.

I dont want to put on another 10 or 20 lbs!

Maybe I should get some appetite supressants or something.

Blech,

Lisa

It is super frustrating. When I was waiting on my revision, I gained 16lbs pounds over 3 months. Totally frustrating, I still had my band, but no restriction, so I just ate more Protein than carbs until I had my food funeral then I eat anything and everything I wanted for about a week.

Thanks Tiffykins,you are always so positive.

A food funeral..how funny is that? Sounds like the pefect end to obesity-dom tho.

I read your story about your issues with getting sleeved, that must have been

so scary for you!

I look at your ticker all the time and take strength from it :-) Hopefully this time

for me passes quickly.

      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.
