Recommended Posts

In 3 more hours I will be going in for my sleeve. I'm not scared at all. I AM READY. I know that this is just the beginning of a new lifelong journey. I kept hearing the hardest part was the pre op diet. Mine was one week of Protein and Water and I breezed through that with no cheating. I hope that's no indication that I havent had my "hard part" yet. Well God is with me. I see you guys on the losers side!!

Surgery went well they said. I stayed in the bed all day and night in excruciating pain. I guess I am one that can not take pain. The nausea was extremely bad also. Today is day two in the hospital and I will probably go home tomorrow or friday. Im still taking pain meds and meds for the nausea every 4 hours but I feel its getting better.

      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.
