September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved in South San Francisco on 9/29/10. I am losing weight now, as expected. All the functions have returned. I'm not too hungry at all. I am starting to miss "crunch". I am one of 3 on whom they used a new technique of using only 2 incisions. I feel really good, but stomach is still a bit sore. I'm keeping active. I need to work on getting more fluids. I am looking forward to a much healthier me.

I not only have a stall, I gained two pounds and they ain't goin anywhere! And since I only "go" once every three days, I hop on the scale the day after expecting miracles and get a slap in the face. I think I am gonna ask the old man to hide that evil thing :angry:

What you you all think of starting our own thread on the general discussion board?

Cherice, the proper place for monthly sleevers is in the "monthly sleevers" forums. We can still start a new one here just for check in's. That would be great.

I am scheduled for Septeber 20 with Dr. Davidson. I'll be anxious to hear about your experience and how you are doing following the surgery. How's the pre-op diet going or have you started yet?

      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.
