Calling All August 28Th Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I know I'm not getting enough in, but I gag when I try to drink them too. I LOVE Premier Protein and Atkins, but my doctor said those aren't allowed on his pre-op diet, so I'm trying to follow the rules. Everyone says it gets better after the 3rd day, so we should all start feeling better soon.

I started drinking shakes on my 3rd day post-op. I discovered that I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't even have my fave, Premier Protein. When do you start shakes?

Not even if you add the lactase drops to your shakes?

I started using Almond milk with the powders and my tummy feels much better. Never heard of lactase drops.

They work like lactaid tablets(lactaid used to market the drops too)only they come in a dropper bottle and you add drops to your milk or other dairy products.I used them years ago. I just read that they are hard to find in stores now but can be ordered online. I believe it is the same type of product that Lactaid adds to its dairy products.The drops don't taste like anything once they are mixed in they can be added to a whole gallon of milk and people would not notice anything different.

So we're all coming up on almost 3 weeks out...how is everyone doing? I am SO EXCITED that I get to start puree/mushy foods tomorrow!! Having a bit of numbness on my tongue..wonder if it's from all of the sugar-free food/drinks, but other than that, so far so good.

Wish I could start purée but my doctor calls for one more week of liquids! Ugh! The good news is I'm down 10 pounds in 2 weeks and I'm out of the obese weight and just overweight now. Yay.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
