Any December Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

D'oh, I'm the only one who'll be on a 2 week liquid diet during Christmas?

I have to watch my family fill their faces with turkey, dressing and Desserts. :(

Nope DougNichols- You aren't the only one! I will be right there with you. But, I think the excitment of my life being changed for the better is a little bit of an encouragement. My surgery date is December 27th.

Good luck! Just keep that nervous energy working in your favor!

I got mine 12/14 and no complaints here. Just debating on if I should start the full liquids Sat/Sun like they recommended or wait a little longer. Thoughts?

Thanks. I found it. And, was like AW! I love it!

Whoohoo for December 20th!

I can't. I thought I was pre occupied BEFORE. Oh my gosh. It's far worse. All I can think about is surgery.

Like, what to do before surgery? What will I need? What do I need to do?? LOL

My surgery got bumped to December 27 due to my lovely insurance company, but at least I am still a December sleever! Good luck Monday!

Me too! It will be hard to do the liquid diet with all of my family's great treats, but at least it is for a good cause!

Lila, I am now getting sleeved by Cirangle on Tuesday. How has your recovery been???

Hi Alexis,

Wow, that's great. Dr. Cirangle is a really experienced surgeon, and I think you'll be in GREAT hands! Also, I assume you'll be at CPMC, the staff there are SOOOO nice. People were really kind and supportive, and I felt well taken care of.

My recovery is going really well!! The first couple of days were kind of tough (mostly because I was a bit nauseous and bloated from the gas, not really about the pain), but after that, things have been going like gangbusters. It's truly hard to believe I have a major surgery two weeks ago. I have had no problems drinking my Water, or getting in my Protein. I've had good energy, and I only took the meds for about 4 days. I might have taken them for an even shorter period, but I was a little paranoid about pain. My incisions are healing really well, and I'm feeling really good. I hope things go GREAT for you! I'll be thinking of you!

My surgery date is December 7th. Anyone scheduled on or near that date? I figure I'll be able to decorate the house and do my shopping beforehand, then be in pretty good shape by the time Christmas rolls around.

I was sleeved on Dec 7th too. We are almost the same. My starting weight was 202 and I am at 187. I'm down 15 lbs. I say congrats to us! Here's to a skinny 2011!:lol:

      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.
