The Cons Of Gastric Sleeve Life! :-(



Recommended Posts

I wish I'd just get sleeved I'm scaired because I can only go to Mexico. And alone

Maybe you can schedule your sleeve in Mexico with someone else here? I'm going at the end of January to Dr. Almanza - maybe you can find someone going when you want to have yours done and to the same doctor? Then you won't be alone! :)

That is not a con when you sweat like a ***** in church all summer long! I welcome being cold!

You can only take so much off to cool off, especially when your a cow, you can always put more on to get warmer. I would love to be cold over sweating hot all the time!

Hey!

Thanks for the post! While I see how this could easily be a con because I have lived it. I have to say I hope I am cold all the time like my fit/skinny friends. Currently I am always hot and this is not fun! Our friends always want the heat turned up or to sit outside in the sun! Sorry, but being morbidly obese and sitting in the heat is just NOT fun! Rather miserable actually!

I'm sooooo looking forward to being cold! I don't ever get cold. Even in the dead of winter with 2 feet of snow outside I'm still sweating sadly. It will be SO nice not to sweat all my makeup off before I even make it to my destination! I can't wait for that!

Well Ladies... I have been like a heater all my life... (my hubby says, I'm still "hot", even if it does come in flashes)....but, this mid-life cycle... is the pits... and I think cold is good...

So, I am looking forward to it. Besides... who wouldn't love to wear those cute little tee-shirts with the layered look... a beautiful sweater... or even cotton sweater... Thinking about it brings on a hot flash!!! lololol

      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.
