May 2012 Sleeve Buddies? Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I know this is a bit premature but I am so anxious and excited (and scared) to get my lap-band to VGS revision on May 11th. Are there any other sleevers scheduled for May? Where are you getting yours done?

I am going to Dr. Aceves for two reasons. 1. My insurance has put an exclusion on all weight loss procedures (LAME!!) and 2. from what I have read and researched, he is a master at revisions.

Hey you May 2012 Sleevers! I was a May 2011 Sleever and will be celebrating my first sleeviversary on May 17. I feel a special kinship for each of you! The days leading up to surgery can be so hectic and kinda scary. But look at my stats - so worth it! I hope you don't mind me popping in on your thread to wish you luck and share my story.

Love and best wishes to each of you! And especially any sleever sisters or brothers who will share my date: May 17!

      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.
