Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

April 12th in the house! I guess you could say I am Anxious more than anything. Never had any type of surgery' date=' but I think of the greater outcome. I think doing my research and being on this forum have greatly prepared me mentally. Physically I will prepare for the worst and hope for the best... Not gonna spend hours worrying about that part. I'm just ready to get this party started and be the person on the outside that I am on the inside... I've been competitive my whole life, and I will tame the sleeve! Hahaha[/quote']

Heyyyy Im 4/12 too. I cant wait. Im praying for a healthy recovery. Good luck to u. #Tame the sleeve# HA I LOVE IT!

I am April 1st and it is now, cause I'm in Kuwait, just two days away! Right now it is Friday early morn. I can't sleep. So anxious. I have one week off from work- I even have a hair appt for the end of this week. Now that is opptimistic, huh?

I woke up remembering last summer when we went to the mountains of NC and I didn't go river rafting with my kids because I was afraid I was too big. I am so praying that I will be able to have a different and better experience this summer!

Best wishes and prayers for all of us Aprilists that we can finally put food and eating in perspective.

Hello April sleevers!

Another April 16th here, with Dr Aceves in Mexicali MX.

I'd like to say I'm relaxed and ready - instead, I keep hoarding Protein like a neurotic hamster! I'm starting my high-protein preop diet on Sunday, which gives me plenty of time to clean out the cupboards, fridge, etc. So this is a good thing.

Two new beginnings: I put in my notice at work so that I could have the time I will need for surgery and recovery, as my work was unable to accomodate my request for time off to take care of myself. On to new horizons!

-Asche

      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.
