African American Sleevers

Hello everone! I haven't got a date yet, but I'm confident I'll get one soon! I'm still doing clearances. I just had to have a stress test and a psyc eval and I'm good to go. I did my stress test a few weeks ago, and I never want another one ever in life. That was so spooky laying there and my heart was racing like I had ran up a flight of steps everytime they pushed the meds in my IV. I just had 1 out of 3 of my psyc eval appointments today! I'm so excited because I feel like I'm getting closer to finally being able to enjoy my family and be more active. I want to take my children to Universal Studios and wear heels again

Hello Everyone! I will be sleeved on July 30th and can't wait I am so excited. I have been reading a lot on this site and found so much useful information but I am wondering about this preop diet. I'm on my third day and have only been drinking the Unjury shakes 4-5 times per day and drinking lots of Water. These shakes are ok but I'm wondering what everyone else did..

I bought some nectar by syntax samples the other day. My surgery is on the 30th too (if all goes well, long story.)

The stress test sounds scary and I hope I don't have to do that :/

I'm on day 4 with Bariatrics Advantage shakes 4-5 a day and Water. Today is a rough day . Shakes to sweet. I've got to find a way . I've got to do it for 21 days

I had to switch up the shakes with chicken broth, I needed some salt in between all that sweetness

Hello

I was sleeved june 26. The pain after surgery was unbearable. I was on my cycle. So, I was losing so much blood. I have Pcos. My cycles are already crazy. They seem to get worst after surgery. I had to stay extra days in the hospital. That Monday was my check up with the doctor. I was feeling bad. I weak and tried and dehydrated and in pain. I went home barely drinking because it was hard for me to keep anything down. To make a long story short. That Friday I tried to go to the store. I was in so much I could not walk. I had to leave the basket. My hubby gave me pain pills . The next morning my hubby fixed me Water. I throw it up. About 5 hours later we tried the store again. I was in so much pain. I told my hubby to finish shopping. I was going to the car. I got home. I was out of breath again. Heart beating fast like I ran a 5k. We went to the er. They ran test and found I had gallbladder issues and pancreas issues. I was transferred to my surgery hospital. I stayed 6 days. I went home. Last week. The shortness of breath started again. It took me 45 mins to get ready for another appointment I had. The shortness of breath was so bad I had to have my car parked . After my appointment. I drove myself to the Er. It took me 30 mins. I could not go to the er by house. I had to go back to the surgery hospital. I was dizzy. By the grace of God I made it. They kept me. They said my liver enzymes are high. I was given a blood transfusion last week. My blood levels were low. No more shortness of breath now. I still struggle with Protein intake and drinking. It hurts my stomach . I don't regret having the surgery. Im down to 197. That was because I was not getting enough protein and I was throwing up. I lost about 60 to 50lbs over 4 weeks. Start weight was 250. Im off my high blood pressure medication and insulin meds.

God is a good God. If, it were not for all the prayers, I would have given up. I was getting ready to lose my mind. It gets better each day. I was also grateful for some of the nurses and techs in the hospital. They had weight lost surgery. They really helped me by giving me tips and telling what protein supplements work well.

<br />Sincerely<br /> Z
