Scheduled To Be Sleeved On May 16Th!



Recommended Posts

Well today I received my surgery date. I had the choice between May 9th and May 16th, and decided to go with May 16th just because it worked around my schedule! So May 16th it is! I am soo excited and terrified at the same time! I don’t know which way to go, or what I need to do first to be prepared for the big day. My surgeon's office is requiring me to use Optifast for my two week diet, which will begin on May 2nd! I am looking forward to the new HEALTHY me! :)

So Happy for all of you who are looking forward to your dates. I had my sleeve on March 26. SOOOO Happy I did this. I had little pain after went home after 23hrs. Have lost 32lb. Feeling better and stronger everyday. I was so scared to go looking back now it was not bad at all. The hardest part was the sip sip sip you do all day feels like you drink all day.

Good Luck To You 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.
