Looking For Momma Sleevers Who Have Young Children



Recommended Posts

Hi there . I have a husband, 3 year old and 15 year old...... My Very supportive Mother came and stayed with us and took great care of all of us. I couldn't have asked for more !!!!! I went shopping ahead of time for food, Vitamins , liquids, etc. that helped a great deal. The little one is very busy so the 15 year old helped to entertain and care for them. Family !!!!! That's all u can say ; )

For those with concerns and worry about how to handle things post surgery as a mother... I think that the work is alot less since having surgery. My 12 year old is getting a mom who is healthier and more capable. He's seeing a mom that is happier and more motivated. I feel like doing more house work, activities and going places. Prior to my surgery I was grumpy and tired all the time..quite moody. I didn't want to leave the house out of fear that people would stare at me (my own insecurities) and running into old friends to see them shocked at seeing me at my worst..and I just felt lazy..like it was too much work to do much of anything.

I do focus more on the food that we eat and have to put a little more effort into planning meals but that is something I should've been doing all along. I think having the surgery has made me a better mom..I'm more positive and energetic and my kids have noticed and are happy for me and I'm sure for themselves.

      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.
