November 5Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Nov 5 with Dr. Lopez in TJ. I'm having Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch, a nice salad with chicken for dinner, and a yogurt for dessert. I'm allowed to have a shake in the evening as well so I substitute a yogurt since it's got the Protein and same number of carbs. I am already losing weight.

Nov. 5th here too. I'm a little nervous just because of the fear of the unknown I suppose. I mean, you can read all about it and talk to people who've had it done but you really don't know just how it's going to affect YOU until it's been done. Mostly though I'm just excited and ready to get it over with so the healing can begin and I can start dropping this weight and actually participate in life again. I've wasted too many years being unhealthy and consequently have missed out on a lot of things in life but NO MORE!

November 5th here! Nervous yes, scared a little. Excited at times, I have never been a skinny person, I am very nervous about that. I have a 17th month old boy named Max, and some guilt is creeping in as I hope everything goes well for both our benefits. Good Luck to all the 5ths, may the Baby Jesus be holding everyone's hand.

Definitely freaking out a bit. I think that's natural when surgery is so close. Actually, I think my body may have been freaking for a couple weeks. Only way I can explain why the pre op diet was so easy.

I started liquid diet + laxative today. Amazingly, it hasn't been bad so far. I'm on my second cup of broth - I had chicken this morning and beef right now. I hope I feel this good right until surgery. I'm down about 7 pounds since Monday.

      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.
