September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

I just added contacts and friend requested or whatever.. I didn't get to everyone, because my husband is calling me to come watch a movie!! lol.... I'm determined to not lose touch with people here in September! So if you get a request, it's from me. I also started a blog, and I protected it so that only my contacts could see it? Or something?!? I don't know, I just don't want to bare all to the whole wide world, makes me nervous, but I want a place to check in and be held accountable and vent and post photo updates (when I get brave enough) and etc... anyway, I'm in a rambling mood tonight, so forgive me! TTYL!

Hey all! I had my surgery in March and now get to go with my best friend on Sept 9th for her surgery on the 10th with Dr. Aceves, if any of you will be there I'd love to be able to say hi. I'm sure I will have plenty of time on my hands and would be happy to walk the hospital halls with you.

To the rest of you, good luck! These weeks before surgery can be nerve wracking, but I promise, it will be worth every bit of it!!!!!

PM me if you'll be in Mexicali

WOOHOO it's September.

Just wanted to post a general Good Luck to September sleevers.

I know for me it makes surgery so much more of a reality that it's September now. I go for my last pre-op testing, Nutritional consult and metabolic testing tomorrow then 2 week liquid pre-op. All the long wait and hoop jumping has been so worth it to this point.

Again GOOD LUCK to everyone, see you on the losers bench.

Tracey

Hey everyone!! That's right -- let's get this party started!

I have exactly 2 weeks until the big day! I'm doing really good on my Pre-Op diet. Yesterday I did much better than day one, that's for sure. It's working though, I'm already down 3.4 Lbs!! In TWO FULL DAYS!!

I'm being sooo good. I guess when you have something like this in front of you it will force you to make the better choices. Everyone should want to go into that OR in the best of health, in helping and hopes of a quick and smooth recovery.

All the best! Everyone going in this week check in please! Give us your pre-op scoops!! :thumbup1:

I'M SEPTEMBER 10TH.

Nice to meet you all. Went for my preop tests on Monday. I fly to Barranquilla Colombia Thursday the 9th for surgery on the 10th. I'll be back on the 14th.

I'm exited and nervous. What scares me the most is the disipline and maintenance afterwards.

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you in the skinny side:)

I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow and my surgery will at 9. I'm so excited, kind of hungry I'm on a full liquid diet and I just realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day so now I'm sipping on some Soup, lol. I can't wait to rock my sleeve to the fullest.

I want to thank you all for the support that you've given me over the last couple of months and the support that I'm sure you'll give me in the days, weeks and months to come.

The next time I post I will be sleeved.

      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.
