As Of Tomorow The 16Th I Will No Longet Be A Pre Surgical Patient



Recommended Posts

Lord willing this time tomorrow I willbe out of surgery and in a room recovering! WOOHOOO

I am supposed to be at the hospital by 8:45 for them to take me back by 10:30 but we all know how that goes!

I am excited yet nervous too, I have had the band (2x) but had it removed due to prolapse. I am praying that I will ahve NO leaks or complications with the sleeve. My Dr said that since I had had 2 previous bands that my 'leak' rate doubled. It went from 1% to 2%. I jsut don't wnat any complications. I know n o one does either.

So after tomorrow I will no longet be a PRE but a POST surgical sleever.

This is ONE CLUB I am HAPPY to join!!! :)

Yey! Congrats to you! I know the feeling of being excited and scared at the same time! lol, I also had the band 3 yrs ago and it didnt work for me so i chose the sleeve. Let me tell you, THE SLEEVE IS IN CONTROL, ALWAYS! LOL So, dont think you gonna SQUEEZE food by like we did with the band! lol. This was the best decision I have ever made for myself and I would do it all again. You will be amazed at the results if you follow the plan. Good luck to you and I cant wait to hear that everything went well!

      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.
