Connecticut Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I havent found many CT sleevers on here. A few and they have been wonderful to me. I find that the support groups are few and far between and would love to develop something more!

I would love to get together to walk and talk too. I am scheduled July 9 in Hartford.

Other than walking the dog, I don't do much since I fell and raised a huge bump on my knee. I limp a lot! Have been working out mostly in the pool. So I wouldn't be much use to your exercise agenda right now.

Maybe by july, my vertigo will be gone, too. I sure hope so.

Sorry I can't join you guys, it sounds like a group walk / get together would be fun! I was in Stratford for 25 years (originally from Bpt) but moved to Texas 2 years ago. It would be a stretch to get back to CT!

I wasn't sure if WLS was a big thing up there but down here, there are billboards and TV commercials everywhere for it!

I'm headed back up there for Xmas.....hope to stay in touch!

      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.
