Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

We're nearly the last of the April Sleevers to go, Jimmy! We're going to be going crazy by the 26th :blink: The very best of luck to all those who are going before us. Here's to being healthy, happy and able to wear high heels again (maybe not you Jimmy!)

I started my pre-op diet today so far not to bad but, it is day 1. I meet a lady last night at Olive Garden and she said WLS was the best thing she ever did. It made me feel good about my decision. And this website has been the best thing I have ever found on the internet.

I agree! This forum is such a valuable resource. Mysurgery is on 4/23 and I think I would be so lost and scared without it. Everyone here has been so kind and wonderful too. Good luck on the preop diet.

I wonder if they will give us a little "something-something" (Valium!) before surgery. At my NUT visit, I started having a little mini panic attack when she was talking about how much our eating was going to have to change. I don't want to totally freak out and run down the hallway in my hospital gown!

Everyone I talk to says the same thing. " Best decision I ever made". I Agree!

Just remember, I'd someone said you had to give up your favorite foods for six months to lose 100 lbs would you do it?

It's that simple...

I don't think of the surgery as making me give up my favorite foods. I think that I will eat less of those foods instead of mass quantities, and I think that my favorite foods will change. In all of the video blogs that I've been watching on You Tube, which are great in case you haven't seen them, the sleevers all said that they just want different foods, healthier foods, after the surgery but that they can eat anything that they want but what they want has changed. When you get to maintenance, I think you can eat anything in small amounts. You'll be free to make better choices, however, without that grehlin telling you what to eat and how much to eat.

Ok so tomorrow at 1pm central time i begin my new way of life. I am mental ready. Doesn't mean I'm not a little scared but I feel like this is going to be a good change for me. I love to eat but I love to eat the wrong foods and too much of them. So this will keep me on the right track. I used to be able to find my way around any diet, or weight loss pill. Can't do it with this. I feel good in this decision. I now know I have the will power to achieve this goal. I just wish I would have done it sooner.

Hi guys- sorry to double post, but I am out of sugery and doing pretty well. They did give me something to relax me before sugery and later another dose that knocked me out. Don't remember a thing. Best wishes to all.

      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.
