Official July Sleevers Postop Thread.



Recommended Posts

Well, the time has finally come. It is July and tomorrow at least 18 of us (I think) will be getting sleeved! viva la July 2nd! lol.

I saw a similar thread for June and thought this would be a good idea for support while in the hospital recovering.

I will be going in, in 28 hours to be exact. Then my life changes forever....I wish everyone the best of luck especially my independence day siblings all 28 or so of us being sleeved the first 4 days of July.

Good luck safe journeys if going to Mexico and I will see you on the losers bench where we will all be winners!

12 hours to go. Just drank my magnesium citrate... So if anyone feels a disturbance in the force, please excuse me lol.

Kinda worried ti take it. Never had laxative before, and especially a whole bottle.

Getting down to the wire never wanted to eat something more in my life not because I'm hungry but because it feels like I will never eat again or something.

Guess just panicking and freaking out, who wouldn't want the emotional comfort food can bring.

You will be able to eat again, one day :)

Right now keep focused on getting thinner and getting healthy. We are all here when you feel like you need support or need a friend that understands where you are at in life.

I am praying for you. Do not be afraid :)

Post when you feel like checking in to let us know you are up and that all is well.

((((HUGS))))

This us ungodly. Yes I watch greys anatomy and know surgeons work ungodly hours, but that is emergent care surgery.

Why would anyone chose 6am surgeries for pre scheduled...

I'm so not a morning person!

T minus 1h:30m till I have to be at hospital.

      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.
