Gastric Sleeve Surgery Time Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 surgery to be around 11:00. I have waited 7 months for this and I cannot pinpoint just how I'm feeling at this moment. I can say however that I want to be on the "losers bench!" I'm hoping for an easy surgery and a fast recovery, oh and as pain free as possible!

Hi Pamme

I was nervous the night before, day of, hey i'll still nervous about the continuous journey of my sleeve. When you're done you'll see all was worth it.clap2.gifhigh5.gif

By the time you read this, it'll be over, hmmmm.....but your journey is just starting.

      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.
