Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There



Recommended Posts

Thanks deeriggs, where are u from, I'm from nj. I see my surgeon tomorrow hopefully he will tell me how long I will be out of work, I fell like I don't want to go bk n have to deal with the negativity or the tension of sitting in the office under my boss everyday.

I am in TN. My doctor said 2 weeks minimum however, I work for the government and my boss is a Chaplain in the Army so I am off the whole month of December. You definitely shouldn't have to deal with the negativity. I think your boss is just jealous because you are taking the steps that you need to to get healthy. :)

I just did my pre-op yesterday too! I hope I'm still cleared for surgery! Seemed like everything went ok... I also start my liquid diet on Monday. My surgery is two weeks later on Monday the 17th. How did your pre-op go? Is your surgeon going to notify you about the results?

Just prayed for you that God takes control of the situation and that your stress level stays down will continue to pray ! Good Luck with everything and God Bless

Thanks! I appreciate it. We are overwhelmed with all the stuff to deal with the lay off, decisions to make, and in the middle of all this- getting ready for my surgery. Days he was going to take off to run errands, he is now in meetings with HR and I am figuring out what medications to refill while we still have coverage. All this time I was going to be getting ready for surgery. I am trying to take moments to be still and just focus on God.

      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.
