Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?



Recommended Posts

I am doing well! Have lost 9 lbs since surgery. Having a little trouble getting my fluids in because I get full so quickly. I have to go back to work on Wednesday' date=' so that will be interesting getting back into the groove of things![/quote']

It'll get better each day. Just keep sipping and make sure you're not taking gulps of Fluid. Mix it up and have some sugarfree Jello with u or popsicles. Try getting your Protein dtink on before u leave for work and on the way.

That's a good idea, thanks. I have Popsicles and Jello. Started eating strained puréed this week and its nice to add a few things and have noticed feeling hungry a few times now. I just got a new strawberry Protein powder drink because I was getting sick of the chocolate.

Yes we do! Why are you being resleeved? I know how you are feeling. I originally had the band. On top of feeling sick all the time I felt like a total failure when the band didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck this time. When is your surgery?

I was one of the first 5 sleeved . My fundus has formed a pouch called a neofundus..dr hoffman will shave the excess off. Still just as nervouse the second time around...eeeek!!!

Hi I just joined and like that there's so much support. I am from Cheektowaga and am getting sleeved by Dr. Carauana at Sisters Hospital on 8/5. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and Im getting so nervous and having mixed feelings. I keep telling myself that I can't continue on this path of destruction and I want to be healthy for my 2 small children. Is anyone else having their sleeves around that date? And best wishes to everyone that is or just had the sleeve. :)

I'm in Lockport and my sister and I were both sleeved in Mexico on June 24th. Both of us are doing very well and super exited by our new lives. Since 2 week pre-op I've lost 26lbs and my sister 34lbs. Since surgery, exactly 1 month-16lbs for me and 20 for her! You will rock this! It's a learning experience but it's not that hard, it's a lot of listening to your body. I've yo-yo dieted for 40 years and never knew this existed until February when a friend had it done. Absolutely awesome experience-so worth it!

I am very excited but scared. I've had 2 csections so I don't know what I'm worried about. Its great hearing that you and your sister are being successful! Congrats!! :)

My co-worker just had her bypass by Dr. Carauana 3 weeks ago. She's doing well and you'll do just fine!!!!!

      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.
