January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Finished my last day of work finally! I felt like the hands on the clock were moving so slow! I just want to go to bed so I can wake up and head for the hospital. I'm kinda bummed my check in time was pushed from 6am to 10:30am which means surgery is probably early afternoon. Gonna make for a long day, but by this time tomorrow, I'll be on the other side. Can't wait.

Today is my 1st day on the 2week preop diet. I still have the 1 meal left to have' date=' but I'm feeling pretty good. Can I still go to the gym during this phase??[/quote']

I was okay until 4! After four I had a struggle, but I made it to bed without cheating. These two weeks will fly by!

This thread is so great. I look forward to reading all of the replies!

I see my surgeon for my pre-op visit tomorrow. Hope he likes what he sees (or doesn't see!) their scale is always 2+ lbs higher than mine at home, but I think I've lost about 20lbs since my first visit with him. Starving myself had better be worth it. They did agree to let me eat some nonfat Greek yogurt so I can actually eat with my family at dinner. Living on Premiere Protein, Isopure Zero Carb and bullion. Stocking up on Soup & liquids. Nesting like a crazed pregnant lady! 5 more days...can't wait!!

G'nite all. Everyone be well!

On my way to the hospital. I couldn't sleep all night. I know this is the right decision but it is a little scary. I took my before pics and of one with my c-pap on ( real sexy!) there are so many reasons to do this that I am positive it is worth the risks no matter the outcome. It is my chance to put me first . I just turned 52 if your younger this surgery is such an opportunity for a better life for me it is for the rest of my life. We add the lucky ones who made it through all the months prior. See you later!!

Good luck today! I don't leave for a few more hours. Good thing I guess because I decided to drink a bottle of mag citrate after I got home from work and I've been running to the bathroom since around 2am lol. Hopefully I'll be done with that before I leave or the drive will be very interesting. Let us know how you did when you can. And I'm 46 so not a young pup either, but I still see a much better future for myself. Still have plans on doing all the things I couldn't do as a heavy person. Don't count yourself out of the game at 52. Lots of time to enjoy this new you.

      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.
