Any Pennsylvania Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am in Lafayette Hill and in the pre-op process with Dr. Noonan at Abington. Hoping for VSG surgery in Feb.

Hi bandmomtb,

My surgeon is Dr Bonanni and I can't say enough good things about him. The staff at the Warminster office is great. My stay at Abington was phenomenal. I don't regret choosing Abington at all. I have worked at several big teaching hospitals as nurse and I was impressed. My loved ones were pleased , they kept them informed and they were comfortable waiting. You are in good hands. Dr Noonan has a great bedside manner, she covered for Dr Bonanni the second post op day.

      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.
