Recommended Posts

Well surgery is tomorrow!!! Im doing my bowel prep now ugh I havent eat anything to clean out from my 2week luquid diet. Im so excited!!

I don't have to do a bowel prep. Just tomorrow full liquids and Tuesday Clear Liquids, but thinking of how sore my belly is going to be after surgery, I think I might do one anyway. The less I have to go to the bathroom afterwards the better! Good luck tomorrow!

This is my first post. I will be sleeved on Tuesday' date=' January 8, 2013. I feel well prepared and am not nervous but excited. My surgery is covered by insurance and having it performed by Dr. Eagon, St. Louis Missouri. I am down 11 pounds from my October 2012 appointment. I am using fitbit one to track my sleep, exercise, and calories in and out. I found Propel Water to be amazing. I'm not much of a water drinker and finding this water has been a key to helping me get my fluids in. I will drink my first New Whey Liquid Protein to see how I like it. It has 42 gms of protien, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of carbs in 3.8 oz of Fluid. I'm having difficulty finding out how to post from my ipad/iphone app. I can see all posts and did reinstall the app in portrait. I have told a handful of people that I am having this surgery but am reluctant to share with most as I'm a bit embarrassed that I couldn't lose this weight on my own and am not looking for anyone's negative opinions about the surgery. Preop weight: 241 Goal: 150[/sub']

I am committed to following all the rules post op and jumping around on my calories in so that I can "trick" my body into not stalling much. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and journeys as it has helped me develop my own plan as I get ready to be sleeved. Thank you EVERYONE!! I would like to buddy up with a woman who was sleeved in 2012 and weighed approx. 240 pounds pre-sleeve and would share this journey with me.

God Bless you and praying thay you have a speedy recovery! Im from the Stl and having my surg today!!

Good luck to everyone going in this week. I'm on my Clear Liquids for today. Surgery tomorrow. As of this AM I am 338 down from 351 right before I started my 2 week liquid diet. I have to say I already feel so much better after only losing 13 lbs. I can't wait to see less of me over th coming months. I love to go hiking in the spring and haven't been able to do so for a couple of years now. This year I'm tearing up the trails!!

      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.
