September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone -- I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept. 8th -- very nervous, but excited about the possibilities afterwards! I'm really thankful for this forum -- what a lifesaver to have others to talk to!

My husband is extremely supportive, as well as my 3 kids. However, I have not told the rest of my family -- I don't know what to expect from their reactions, etc. So, I think I'll do the wait and see approach with them . . .

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's success!

Determined1, I know how you feel!

My date is Sept 21st. I've made my mental plan for August to be my Farwell to food (now I'm not going out and gorging everyday so people don't scold me i'm eating as normal but not beating myself up over having pizza, etc..:)) and making September 1st be the day I start to ween myself off things and start prepping for food post sleeve. My surgeon said I don't need to do a pre op diet but I think I will put myself on one to start getting ready.

I am scheduled for Sept. 1st. I will be a lap to sleeve revision.

Looking for some support buddies that will be around the same time to help keep from going crazy and cranky on the liquid diet after.

Let me know if you would like a sleeve buddy :thumbup:

I am fairly new on here, and also looking for a support system. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 7th. I am going through a mixture of emotions ranging from excited to nervous. It seems like a great idea to surround myself with positive people who have gone through, going through, or getting ready to go through the same journey. Thank you for asking about Sept. sleevers!

      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.
