29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am 29 and I'll be getting the surgery in February, a month after my 30th birthday. I have the same BMI as you and also decided not to tell anyone. It's actually my decision and people here so judgemental. People who know: partner, mum, hairdresser and you all. People who will know: my sister some day before surgery and my best friend (a male who doesn't gossip)

So don't worry, everyone does what she/he feels like. The result is the same: you'll lose your weight. And a smile to the people who will compliment you on your weight loss will be eloquent enough, no need to even say "thank you"!

I am 27 and getting sleeved early next year. I have told many, all my family knows and my hubbys family knows through my blog. Ive told my good friends at work, home and at Church. Im also going to start a video blog on Youtube documenting the journey. With everyone else, I figure if they ask after surgery I will tell them. Im so excited about the surgery I doubt I will be able to keep my mouth shut ;)

So now that I am sleeved I am telling. Still not saying anything at work but have or will tell all my friends and family. Now that surgery is done I really don't care who knows. Kinda crazy how that all works. Surgery went great and I am already down 17 lbs. In just 10 days. So I say judge that suckers:)

I post on Facebook and all my coworkers know and I have gotten a few cruddy remarks but I don't care . It is my choice to share I am not obligated to do so I choose to shout it to the world. You just have to do what makes you happy just as you chose to have surgery it is your choice who you want to share they news with.

      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.
