Getting Gastric Sleeve Surgery Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved tomorrow (11/21/2011). I just found this website and thought it would be helpful to join.

My heaviest weight was 390 lbs. Today (1 day before surgery) I am at 365 lbs. I am so ready to begin my journey. I am getting sleeved at Baton Rouge General Hospital by Dr. Frelich. I just went through the liquid diet phases ( 1 week of full liquid and 1 week of clear liquids), Those two weeks were probably the hardest two weeks of my life. I will keep everyone updated on my weight loss as I make the journey.

By the way, can anyone tell me how to get the weight loss and bmi counter that everyone has at the bottom of their posts.....Thanks so much!

Good luck tomorrow. You are about to begin the journey of a life time. You can find the weight loss tickers at http://www.tickerfactory.com, http://www.weight-loss-center.net/weight-loss-tickers.html, http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/weight-loss-ticker.asp or http://www.matthewscaloriecounter.com/.

You could also google search for weight loss ticker or counter.

Best wishes!

      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.
