My Texas Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@@ellekay - I went the hernia route with Dr Adam Smith. He has an office in Fort Worth and I'm not sure if he has an office in Dallas.

I don't have hypothyroid issues.

I had Dr. Adam Smith as well and he does not have a Dallas office. I live in Irving and drove to Ft. Worth for all of my appointments. Would have been nice if he did have an office closer.

95lbs down and 4 months post op :)

Dallas! Dr. Nicholson did my sleeve on 5/18. Except for a sore left incision, this has been much easier than I expected. I am on a "regular" diet now. Now I just have to figure out this new way of eating. LOL.

I wish I had specific tips that give me great success. I'd actually probably say that I don't deserve such success.

I just listen to my stomach and body. I stop eating the moment I feel my full feeling. And I weigh myself everyday and plan my food according to how the scale is doing. Always eat my Protein first. I do indulge though. I won't lie. I have half of a small snocone every weekend. I also have a Fitbit to encourage myself to walk more.

Maybe it's because I'm 29? So my age is helping me out? I'm not sure. I'm very thankful for the success I've had so far though.

      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.
