October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Chad, the scopalomine helped within minutes. They had forgotten to place it in recovery. I am home now for about 20 min. Daughter made sf Jello. A little goes a long way. Who'd have thought jello could be so filling

I'm 40 years old, from Canada and am going in for my sleeve on October 16. I have followed my liquid diet completely, and am excited and very nervous about my surgery. I have PCOS and Hypo Thyroid, and am hoping that this will finally set me free so to speak. My top weight was 243, I am now 225. I wish everyone health and success!

Good luck to everyone about to have theirs. I think my bad reaction was to the anaesthetic not the surgery itself. Either way it sorted itself out after a day and now I feel pretty good. Should go home tomorrow. Woop! New life, here I come!

Me to! October 15. Hospital check in at 12:30 and surgery 2:30. Excited, nervous and i continue to be, as always, neurotic. Having a few 2nd thoughts but I think that's probably to be expected with most things in life. Although, if Brad Pitt proposed, I probably wouldn't have any. LOL

FIRST CONSULTATION - 235

FIRST DIETICIAN MEETING - 233

2 WEEK PREOP DIET -- 222

For all who had VS already, do you think if my friend has a surgery on Monday she will be able to go sight seeing for a few hours on Thursday?

I would not have been able to, but there are many on here that recovered more quickly than I. Go ahead and make plans, but don't be surprised if your friend can't join you. Also, incorporate lots of breaks and Water into your itinerary.

Good luck to your friend!

      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.
