Recommended Posts

Sarah,

I'm 5'9"... Good luck tomorrow!!! What's your goal? I'm shooting for 100 lost by August 6th :)

Good luck to you too. I don't have any specific goals. I'm just going to do as much as I can as fast as I can. These first 6 months will be crucial I think. I'm gonna work my booty off, LITERALLY!!

I check in at 11:15. I'm looking forward to hearing how you're doing.

Sarah

I am one week from today! January 16th at 1:00 pm. I was doing great on liquid diet having just a few cups of spinach or carrots and cucumber with rice vinegar, but hit a wall today! For the first time in a week I wanted food so bad I cried!

Feeling like a failure (I ate a piece of cheese and 3 mini pretzels) I came to bed. Now so upset I can't sleep. I want this so much, why am I so freaking weak!???! Ok thanks for letting me air it out- done with pitty party and try to rest.

Prayers for all is Jan sleeves!! God bless you all and good luck.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I slipped a few times during my 2 week diet too. You're not the only one. Just try and do your best and be as compliant as you can from now on. You can do this!!

I have surgery on the 10th and only 2 days of liquid diet. Knowing this was coming, I ate so many "last foods" in the last few days, that I feel so guilty!!! What a mental case I am!!

Too funny! I was so tempted yesterday. Was on full liquids but it seemed like there was temptation around every corner. Today is Clear Liquids and I don't even want to get out of bed cause I know I'm gonna be even more tempted!

Ok fellow sleevers!!!! I just got home from the hospital, my surgery Monday, jan.7th.

I was in horrible pain after surgery and all night. They have me dilauded and zofran and was still hurting so bad, but my nurse didn't giver anything else. Finally this morning the bariatric nurse practitioner came to see me and told me that it was unacceptable that I was still in pain. She have me Toradol and I felt like a new person! So my advice - ask for toradol right away!!!!

Good luck!!!

      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.
