Everything I Hink I See Becomes A Sleeve Gastrectomy.



Recommended Posts

I think about the surgery off and on all day but this made me giggle at myself. I've watched so many videos of the surgery procedure, etc. That

when I saw the stomach on this picture, it made me think of the surgery. And I envision three fourths of it being cut off, ha ha

LOL! Does the word "sleeve" sound weird to you yet? I overheard someone talking about their sleeve recently, and it was regarding tattoos....but that definitely wasn't the first sleeve that came to MY mind!

Now I'm going to be singing the title of this thread all day. Thaaanks....

Yes, more things are making me think of the sleeve. But want to know the worst? I was in McD's the other day (ugh, I know, but an Egg McMuffin - bread is actually pretty healthy)and they had this video looping on one of their screens about their products. One of them is a blended drink, maybe a chocolate malt or something similar. Something in the way the stuff was "funneled" (by the mixing) and the overall color -- well, every time I saw it I would think "An EGD?" It looked exactly like a scope view during an EGD. To me, anyway. ;) I'm going to have to see if I can find a still of it somewhere.

Oh I was watering the pots lastnight and it kept occuring to me that my stomach was about the size of that hose, and trying to visualize how the food fits into it, and what the early digestion must look like. I appreciate the gory details.

BBJuice, I had the same experience with a guy who was wanting to show off his sleeve the other night. I was thinking to myself "How is he gonna show THAT to the world?" Turns out it was his tattoos, too! :)

      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.
