2012 OctoSleevers

(updated: 154 members!!)

Hey everybody! I'm scheduled for a revision on October 3 with Dr. Chris Sanborn. I initially lost 75 pounds with the band, and started having problems and gained it all back plus some. I'm in my pre-op diet now, and yes I'm starving. lol I think it's interesting that every doctor is different with what they require on their pre-op diets.

I'm very excited for my revision that I can hardly contain myself. lol

Susan 2.0 you are the best! Thanks for collating a list of the October surgeries. Best of luck to everyone!!

No problem. It's my OCD at its best (or worst???) ;-). Good luck everyone. Just 7 days & a wake-up for the first round of OctoSleevers!! This is really getting real!!!!!

It sure is getting real, peeps...im so glad we've got this big group of sleevers here. It really comforts me to know there are so many others doing, thinking, feeling, analyzing, the exact same crap as me!!! This site has been so helpful and informative during my process, and it'll be even more valuable as time moves forward... Good luck to all the OctoSleevers. Cheers (with a low carb Protein Drink, of course) to our new lives/journeys/experiences and victories, big and small.

Ooooh noooooo! I had edited it on the site, but not on my original list I use to copy & paste. I'll double check everyone & re-post.

Thanks Susan! You really are going above and beyond. You're back in the wolfpack.

Funny thing was that not seeing my name on the list was like fulfilling a bad dream of my surgeon telling me my surgery will need to be cancelled or postponed indefinitely for some reason....

I'm so glad! I thought for sure that after my doctors appointment that I would be stuck forever with this unhealthy body.... changed my meds and things are looking up. Seems that I have Hoshimoto's disease instead of just being hypothyroid.... made my white blood count high and sometimes makes your heart have palpitations.... anywho, so glad I'm back on track

      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.
