October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Hello October sleevers , it is with great sadness that I have to take my name off the list.... due to health issues my general doctor doesn't advise me to go forward , it seems that I have to many underlying health issues and it would make it unsafe to go under anesthesia. Please know that I will keep all of you in my heart , my thoughts and mostly in my prayers. I wish you all nothing but success on your journey. ((( hugs)))

We will definitely miss you :( and thanks so much for keeping us all in your prayers.

Ok random statement as our dates are getting closer... As a sugical nurse I know when patients get laparoscopic surgery (like we will) it is a lot easier (and more pleasent) when people clean their belly buttons out prior to surgery... Just saying :)

for some reason I couldn't find this thread earlier, maybe my computer is screwing up lol Speaking of the belly button cleanliness, I have to admit that I sometimes forget to clean it. I will surely try to remember to do that when I'm in the shower because I do plan on having the one incision through my belly button.

Oh I just now noticed why I wasn't able to find this thread, they moved it *slaps head*

      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.
