Under 180Lbs And Getting Sleeved, Anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

I am in same boat. Started at 190 now 183. Have HBP , diabetes, knee pain. I want this battle with food to be over. I want to be healthy and well. It is just as hard to lose 50 for me as 100 for someone else. It is scary

Just follow what the doctor tells you. I had a hard time on pre-op diet. felt out of control and did not want to follow rules. I am 4 days post-op and so glad I did it. people said its not that much weight, only 50 lbs, but I could not get rid of it.

good Luck

I am 175# and being sleeved BEFORE it gets completely out of hand. I hate my weight and not being as active as I should be. I have been struggling with my weight since I can remember and Every year I weigh a little bit more than the previous year. I am getting done on April 15th at OCC with dr Ortiz and can't wait! I know the results are going to be slow but there will be results an they will be forever

Sherri3388 I am in exactly the same boat as you! Plus I have a crapband too and it hasn't worked at all! I need the hormones cut off to my brain! I have to workout 1.5 hours a day and eat super healthy only to maintain a bmi of 30. Suuuuucks.

      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.
