My Life Will Change On August 29!



Recommended Posts

Six months of nutrition classes completed, appointment with dietician and shrink completed, now just waiting for surgery on Aug. 29. Excited and nervous all in one. I've been eating tons of stuff that I may never eat again...hate that insanity. Need this lifesaving tool badly. I'm ready to let the changes begin now!

I am thrilled for you! I know how it feels to get right around the corner from surgery but it will come really fast! I was sleeved June 23rd and it's the best thing I ever did!

Hi Dolly, welcome to the boards and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. August is proving to be a very popular month around here. There is a forum for august surgeries if you wish to meet people who are going through the same emotions, experiences, as we are. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/38113-august-sleevers-where-yas-at/

If you go in and introduce yourself, FutureSkinnyPants will get your name and date on the surgery board that she is so graciously keeping up with. The board keeps growing on a daily basis, so we welcome all new people.

Best of luck in your journey.

It will change Dottie, good luck to you and get ready for all the complements as you lost wt. I thought some people would notice but not like this, my gym now wants me to pose for before and after pics. I don't think I will do it though. Anyway enough about me, I wish you luck in the future and hope your surgery is a success.

      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.
