African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello. I'm new to the site from Brooklyn Ny I'm just starting the process. My insurance company is requiring 6 months of weigh ins and I have about 5 different test I have to complete along with a nutritionist and psych visit. I'm in my 2nd month.

I cannot wait. I'm so ready.

I thought about getting the surgery two years ago and never did, thinking I could lose it on my own. I joined weight watchers lost some and gained it back and then some. Just wanted to say I love this site. I go on a read everyone stories everyday. It's great to have such a great support group and an African American one at that. Good luck to everyone. I can't wait to be on the losers bench.

I am scheduled to have a revision from lap band to gastric sleeve on November 24, 2014. My insurance company just approved the revision today. I'm so excited to start my liquid diet on Monday.

      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.
