22 More Days Until Im Sleeved :-)



Recommended Posts

22 days for me too! I'm do ready for this!

If I can offer you any encouragement, take all your large sips of liquid because after surgery, you will only take baby sips and it can test your patience. I am excited for you and will be praying for you.

That will be a hard one bc I am a drinker! I drink A LOT OF FLUIDS! Good for me for after surgery but it will suck to have to do it so slowly lol

Lmao your going to be the one. After a few times you wont be anymore lol. It usually takes me an hour to finish a 16oz bottle of Water. It takes me 2 hours to finish a 17oz EAS Protein shake.

I used to down bottles of Water, beer, cokes, oj and vodka...now lets just say slow and steady

I don't drink alcohol very often, surely not downing it haha. I do drink a lot it general though. I'll miss my sprite more than anything BUT it's worth losing this 105 lbs!

I'm sure it won't to much to slow me down if it's painful!

      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.
