Recommended Posts

Guess who's getting sleeved January 25th?!?! THIS girl<-----Woot! Insurance approved my sleeve on the 20th of December!!!!! I am so excited! I was originally instructed to start my pre-op diet on the 11th of January,but since I already lost 10 pounds they told me not to start till the 18th of January. SO SO SO excited! I haven't been on in a while bc I have been dealing with the health issues of my 2 yr old but I am back now and so excited to share my journey with you all! Any tips on how to be successful at the pre op diet? Gettin a lil jittery now,not scared of the pain,I survived 3 C-sections....Just afraid of not waking up AND afraid of vomiting afterwards and injuring my staple line!! ((HUGS)) to you all! Who else is a January sleever?????

      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.
