January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just had a visit with my primary. gained 6 lbs???? I'm on a liquid diet' date=' how is that even possible? Hope it goes down before my final meeting with the surgeon on Monday. Surgery Wednesday![/quote']

Ok...my scale was up 4 lbs today from yesterday and I am on all Clear Liquids right now. I truly believe it is all Water because I am afraid of getting dehydrated because I had to take a laxative to prepare the bowels. Well, things really got "moving" so I started drinking more water.

I'm sure it's just the water and/or sodium you have consumed.

Good luck!

I am getting sleeved the 15th. Pretty excited but getting nervous. I have thought about this a long time and prayed about it. Is it normal to have some fear? Leaks scare the heck out of me! Please send some encouragement to this Oklahoma girl!!

Well I'm sleeved! I spent yesterday exhausted from not sleeping the night before and morphine. It isn't too bad but I've had bad nausea and that is difficult. There is pressure on your chest/ stomach but little pain. Gas pains for me aren't too bad. Overall it went great! I can't believe ithe wait is over! Well I'm going back to sleep! :)

      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.
