Introducing me...

Hey guys, I'm new and will probably be popping in on the group. I scheduled for surgery next week, 16th. I do not have an angel yet and would very much like one. My name is Mona and I'm 347. My goal weight is 160 as I'm 5'8" (snd a half but no one wants to give me credit for my half). So that's a goal loss of about 187.

I chose gastric sleeve because it seemed like a no brainer. Less evasive and I'm also already hypoglycemic.

Well, hello everyone. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Mona

Hi Mona! I'm 5'8" also (no 1/2 for me, and these days I really have to stand tall to make the 8"! LOL), and my original goal weight is also 160. Got 12 pounds to go and if I can do it, so can you! You're making a wonderful choice with the sleeve, and lots of people have lost over 200 lbs. with it. Welcome!

Hi Mona,

I am 5'6 and my original weight was 343 pre op. On my surgery date November 10th I was 320. Here I am on December 11th and I am 285. My goal is to get to 125.

I hope you have a wonderful surgery. Mine went great with no complications and I have been loving life afterwards now.

      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.
