Recommended Posts

Hi I'm going on jan 3 in TJ mx can't wait so excited. Already started my high Protein diet so I can shrink my liver by the time jan comes. I also started early so I can cheat on Xmas day a little. I take in about 70 grams if Protein a day and 1000 calories. Not that hard. It's all I think about in a daily. I can't even focus at school because My mind keeps rushing back to surgery. Good luck to all out there. (Smiles)

Well....it would seem that I have to leave the Jan 2013 sleeve buddies club and join the Feb 2013 Sleeve buddies club. Yes friends, my surgery has been moved to February :mellow: There is some pretty extensive dental work that I need to have done and since teeth are pretty important to the chewing process, he wont do the surgery unless he's confident that when I reach the solid foods i will be able to mastecate successfully...to tell the truth I am disappointed, but I know that these things happen for a reason and it will all work out for the greater good. Best of luck to all of you January sleevers! I hope that the new year treats you well and that you will treat your "new you" even 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.
