April Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

April 12th is my big day, like everyone else excitement mixed with a few nerves. Start my pre-op diet March 29th, can't wait to just get on with it. Can't believe I'll be in Puerto Vallarta not being able to eat and drink Cerveza, that'll be a first! Oh well, can't think of a nicer place to be for post op, layin by a pool...ahhh.

Ya that does sound like a nice post op recovery!! Best of luck to you!!

I am tentatively scheduled for April 27th pending insurance approval. I should find out in a couple of weeks. I am so excited and afraid at the same time. Did you have to do the 6 month insurance visits to cope with? I am glad to have a buddy going through the same things I am. good luck

Hi Karen

I dont know why I wasnt being notified of these posts, yes I did do the 6 months supervised diet, didnt loose anything except for the first month, I was able to cut it short by about a months because I had proof of trying and once again failing at weight watchers witing the same year. Im nervous but very ready to get this on with already..I start my preop liquid diet the week before and I am not looking forward to that at all..to say the least

April 11th with Dr Almanza. I'll start my preop diet on March 30th just because I want to give my body the BEST possible chance for a great surgery and recovery. I am also looking forward to the "clean' feeling you get from high Protein liquid diets. I've been on the lose weight gain weight diets pills fads extremes roller coaster for 16 years and I'm ready to cross the bridge to FREEDOM!!!

I wish you the very best and look forward to hearing your results!!

Christal

      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.
