August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I'm getting sleeved Aug 21 in TJ mexico by Dr Pompa. I am 29 years old with 3 children 5, 3, 5 1/2 months. I am starting to get very very nervous. I've been on preop diet for 9 days now and I've lost 10lbs. Super excited about that!!!

I had a mini-meltdown putting my son down tonight. :-(

I'm just so scared to leaving him behind! He is my inspiration. I want to be healthy to enjoy life with him. I'm just so scared. In 48 hours my surgery will be over and I'll be recovering!! I can't believe it.

I am struggling to stay positive tonight. Please pray for me ladies.

I'm also very nervous and I can't seem to stay positive:( especially when so many people in my family don't want me to get d revision from band to sleeve. I also have children a 4 and 10 year old. Who only want me to tuck them in bed.lol

(((hugs))), MamaMelly. I can imagine the anxiety of surgery being so close & having a young son to think about, too! I'm lucky to have a couple of independent teenage boys who will be @ my beck & call once I'm home from the hospital. :) Good luck to you... all will be well.

I'm sorry you don't have a lot of support. We just have to FOCUS on the reasons we started pursuing wls in the first place.

Perfectly normal for a Momma to be going through this. You love your son and that is why you feel this way. I KNOW I will be going through the same thing when I am in your place. It is going to be okay. <<<HUGS>>>

      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.
