Does Anybody Blog Their Journey?



Recommended Posts

so I just recently started my blog journalizing my sleeve journey. I am curious if anybody else does this? I thought it would be a cool idea, so I just started mine today! Here is mine if you are interested.. mystorywiththesleeve.blogspot.com I am not sure if it will post that since it is a link and maybe it will block the link thinking it is advertising... But the name of mine is "My story with the sleeve" on blogger/BlogSpot. If you have one, post your link!

I was thinking of a movie instead. Kind of a video blog. It should be cool to look at it and see the progress. Good luck! When did you get your surgery? I'm supposed to do it on 12/17

I've been documenting mine in a blog on wordpress... I also started a twitter for it. My name there is also Mwrarr. I was waiting to start vlogs until I had a date/approval, so I guess tomorrow I'm going to do the 1st one since it will be 1 month pre-op. idk when I'll post them but my YouTube is HeartSteakAlaVodka. My blog is Mwrarr.wordpress.com

I'll look you up! :) I'm =^..^= on blogger, so if u see that symbol in a comment or something, it's me. :}

I've been blogging since the start of 2012. I find it therapeutic and a good way to get things off my chest. I don't post often, but it comes in spurts and stops. May move to a VBlog once I get approval from insurance, which is where I am now in the process.

      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.
