Here in Mexicali for revision



Recommended Posts

I'm here in Mexicali awaiting my revision from band to sleeve tomorrow morning with Dr. Aceves. Any anxious and nervous feelings I had have pretty much vanished once I got here. Everyone is awesome. Can't wait. :D

This was the best decision I'd ever made for my health and every day I'm reaping the rewards of it and the hard work I put in too. You're going to be so happy!!!

Awww Donnie, Im sorry to hear that. Dr aceves is wonderful and I think if he couldn't do it then it was in your best interest. At least u can go back once your healed and get the sleeve. I'm headed home today, at the airport now actually, feeling great.

      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.
