Mom To Be Sleeved Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited you would think its my turn to head to the losers bench! This means Ill have my best friend around a little longer than I would have,hopefully. My surgery is in TJ in March, while hers is in the states. I've helped guide her through the process and will continue post op. I feel like a walking sleeve encyclopedia with my obsession to research everything to death and the wonderful people here on VST are much to thank for a huge amount of my info and knowledge. Thank you all and I look forward to the continued "friendships".

Congrats to the both of you. Myself and a group are having surgery Tuesday also. It's titled September 25th sleevers. There might be something to read about there. We are all having surgery the same day.

Thank you. Shes doing great. Already home. She's a little shocked that a medicine cup of broth fills her up lol, and ready to swat me for handing her Water every 10 minutes with a "sip" demand but she's was doing great when I left.Very little pain. I hope you and others are doing as well. : )

      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.
