I feel BLESSED!!!!



Recommended Posts

4 weeks ago today I was being checked into the hospital. I was apprehensive, but confident in my decision to have the sleeve. I knew this was what had to happen in order for me to get my life back. I was tired

of dieting and pretty much resigned myself to being OVERWEIGHT,OBESE, MORBIDLY OBESE. Then I found this tool and I am working it to the fullest.

At the present time I have lost a total of 46 pounds which started on Aug. 3rd {pre op diet for 2 weeks}. So that's like a little more than 1 pound a day. WOO HOO!!!! :thumbup::w00t:

I love this tool, I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!! One of the best things to happen to me ever. I FEEL TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY BLESSED. GOD IS GOOD!!!! PEACE.

It is truly a blessing to be able to feel so good about the sleeve, your body, the changes, the whole process! I understand what you are feeling, things that you probably never felt prior to the surgery. It is like being given a second chance to have a life you should have had all along. Grats on your weight loss as well.

Amen! Isn't he? I remember the first things out of my moms mouth after she watched me stop breathing during my first pre op, they led her back into the room and she says praise god, god is good she said she was down the hall pacing and thanking god for what he was already doing for me.

I went back I had the surgery I have hit some mental rough spots but now I know things are exactly how they were meant to be.

Amen is right! I am so happy for you and can't help but think of the people who aren't able to have this surgery. It is certainly a blessing for those who benefit from it!

      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.
