Any Nov 15Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hey hey' date=' Thx and good luck to you all as well!! I leave to Mexico tomorrow Wednesday 11/14 and return Saturday 11/17. My nerves are awful. I will definitely keep in touch and let you know how I am. It will be a real good thing to keep in touch so that we can help each other through this experience. I have been second guessing myself all week, but then I remember all of the reasons for why I am doing this and then I start to feel better. I know why I am doing this and so do you just keep that in mind and you will be okay. I am still nerves though, lol. Toots!![/quote']

Praying for a safe trip!!! Good luck!

So frustrated!!! I got told I don't go in until 1pm tomorrow and I had requested specifically a morning appointment for vaious reasons (child care being the biggest) and that I know me, waiting around, I may get so nervous and anxious I may chicken out. I'm so upset. the she said to me you're getting the band right? UM NOOOOO I'm getting the sleeve!!! Oh yeah, it's on here, right the sleeve, she says to me.. Grrr... Apparently they got bumped from the OR... MY LUCK.. little and none.. part of why I'm so nervous about the surgery! If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck....Ugh I could just cry, now I have to try and figure this all out.

Awesome! I all smiles over here. Not in too much pain. Only pain is in the largest of the surgical cuts. Mouth is like I ate an entire bag of cotton balls.

One day post-op. Feeling like a million bucks!! Barium swallow in a few minutes, then on to my first liquids. I have so much energy. Pain is VERY minimal (only in one site of 6). Walked at least 10 laps last night and this morning. Showered, dressed and ready to start my new healthy life! I hope this journey continues to be uncomplicated. Best of luck to all of you that are sharing in this experience.

      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.
