Any One Is San Diego?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

Just wondering if there are any other San Diego Sleevers out there? I am a few days away from surgery! I have surgery on Sept 14th. Very excited but would love to meet some people in my city that have had it or are about to! :rolleyes:

I'm doing well! No complications thus far, and minimal pain. I was in the hospital two nights, mainly because I had nausea (but no vomiting, thankfully!) the first two days. I'm feeling much better now--just somewhat tired. Please feel free to message me with any questions or just to say hi. =)

Hi everyone! I'm glad to see chat with people from SD. I'm a newbie and just started my 6 month weight loss program (HMR) two months in four to go and everything is pending once I finish. I also plan to have my surgery completed by dr. Mueller. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I'm extremely excited but also nervous I'm still going through the system. I have sharp as insurance.

      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.
