Looks Like I Will Have To Join The Nov Sleevers Now



Recommended Posts

Hi, i was supposed to be having my sleeve tomorrow, but due to a blood problem will probably be in november now, was really dissapointed, but a month is not that long compared with the 22 months i have already waited.

Anyway, just wanted to wish all the october sleevers best wishes and pray that everything goes well for you, and look forward to reading your success stories soon, :) x

Ah, I am so sorry your surgery has been delayed. But I know it is for a good reason. At least you are not denied...only delayed. Chin up. A new you is around the corner.

Thank you, this is a very testing time, I had a call this morning to say that the results of my blood test could take 6 weeks, I was in despair, but turned to my bible and found comfort and the strength to continue to Trust in God and as u said, it is a delay and not a cancellation, I don't understand why, but trust that God will work everything together for my good, and it is great to have the support of fellow sleevers, :-)

Only 5 days since the blood test and I am finding the waiting difficult , I have had a few cheats but have done well today with the liver shrinking diet, and I am down a dress size, most of my clothes are too big for me now, but it has been 23 months since my first appointment for the surgery, I have gone from a 34 to 28 and am really pleased that I am no longer in the size 34's. Trouble is I have one pair of trousers that fits me and am not wanting to buy any more, but will soon be into 26 's If i carry on like this, and I have a few more clothes in that size from when I lost weight last time.

People have begun to say that I don't need the operation now, but they don't understand the struggle I have had with keeping it off in the past, I am determined to wait it out and get my sleeve. I have been open and honest with my friends and family about having the sleeve and a lot of them are not happy with me, but I know my own mind and after reading all the positive stories on here am even more sure that the sleeve is so right for me.

Keep on eating right to get to your promised land, I know I am, x

      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.
