Recommended Posts

So it's almost here. I couldn't be more excited. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous but for the most part I am just ready.

I don't even think I have anymore questions at this point. I've done my research I know this is ging to be a hard journey but so ready for it. I am sick & tired of carrying around the weigh of an extra person.

Hoping to find a few friends on here to help in this journey & maybe help them too.

Omg...I'm going to be sleeved tomorrow 3/27 also. I am so excited. I can't sleep, I've been tossing and turning. I swear I cleaned my house 5 times over in anticipation. I've also don't have any questions, I'm just ready. I've bought all that I need to buy. Best of luck. You will be in my thoughts.

Hey there MQ!! Well you've come to the right place for VST friends and support. :) I was right where you are now just about a year and a half ago, and now today I am shouting from the highest rooftops how awesome the sleeve really is!

Being nervous is very common, so no worries there. I'm praying for you that your surgery is just another day at the office for your Surgeon. Don't forget to check in and let us know how you're healing! Be Blessed!!

      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.
