New, Getting The Sleeve :d



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this group. I am excited to see a support group for people getting the sleeve. I'm currently in the process I get Medical clearance on Nov 8th, and nov 14th I have a physiologist appt (for exercise training). Then on Nov 30th I have my second consult at that point they will schedule my surgery. I'm hoping december will be the month I get it done. They said in this hospital its 3 months start to finish, and I started the beginning of October. Anybody else get it done this fast? How long from scheduling for surgery to the date of surgery was it for you? I wish everyone best of luck :D

Thanks guys. I'm excited for sure. It took me two years from looking into to it to actually pursuing getting it done. I feel hope for the first time in a long time. Good luck to all of you :D

      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.
