Getting Sleeved In India...and Im Freakin Out People



Recommended Posts

Hi all, yes you read correctly, I am a US gal currently in India for 2 years for hubbys job, and I am going to get sleeved here. Firstly let me say how CHEAP it is. Quality is excellent, I have found the best private clinic and feel comfortable and confident with the US surgeon who now lives here and does the procedure.

I am totally terrified....But I am also tired of not wanting to get out of bed everyday and look in the mirror. I am tired of failing myself everyday by overeating. Mostly I am tired of my daughter growing up and me not wanting to take any pictures with her.

I want to break free as Freddy Mercury says!!

Love the forum, please support me :)

In freaking out too. I'm really afraid of complications, but the thought of an absolutely complication free and smooth sailing kind of recovery is just too beautiful. I'm so excited and nervous! Add to all thy nervousness, I'm going to mx for my surgery and I've never been on a plane. Ha! I have always said hat you'll never find me on a plane but I've decided this is worth it.

      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.
