Any March Sleevers?

[erica hall 19]

I am on Day 9 of Pre Op diet, I still get hungry and it is still hard. I think it is both physical and mental. The not chewing part is weird to me. I guess because I am so used to chewing it feels weird not to chew. I feel different. I think your body goes into some sort of weird place after 9 days of no real food:). My job is ordering BBQ take out today since it's payday. I'm usually the first one to place an order and when I declined, people asked was I OK? LOL. Little do they know!!! Went to Pre-op appt yesterday lost 7 lbs in a week. March 13 can't come soon enough. I also get gas easier now. I have heard ppl are very gasey after being sleeved. Do you think the pre-op diet has anything to do with the gas? Good luck to everyone being sleeved today and speedy recovery to all March sleevers!!

I just found out I have to be at the hospital at 6 am tomorrow! I'm the first case, and surgery is at 7:30! WOW!

Good luck! It's nice to be first. Best wishes for a complication-free surgery and quick recovery!

Im not on a liquid diet, its just high Protein low carbs. I cheated ONE time a few days ago but I had lost since then and it was VERY small amount. I decided for these last few days I am just going to do clear liquid and hope it gets me where I need to be by Tuesday.

I'm on a liquid diet (600 - 800 cal and 80 grams protein and I've lost 5 pounds in a week but hit a stall as well. Its so frustrating that you aren't eating and STILL not loosing. Good luck to you.

I'm on day two of pre-op diet; ugh I hate these Protein Shakes and really missing my food, I can do this!

I think a lot of the protein powders lack Fiber so that may be why the stall. I add my Body by Vi weight management powder in with my other Protein Powder to give it the missing fiber in addition to adding a little bit more protein to the shake. I've lost 5 lbs since Wed. Oh and got my PCP to scribe me Xanax b/c I'm a nervous wreck! Tuesday can't come soon enough! Think i'll go fake bake...lol...it's 50 in Fla today. A tan always makes me feel better! Hugs & prayers to everyone going through this new journey!

You can do it!

[onelessfatgirl 103]

Just a suggestion to the pre op liquid dieters... my nut told me I could chew sugar free gum (no swallowing).

[onelessfatgirl 103]

I can also have ice and sf popsicles... those *could* be chewed I suppose

what does the pain feel like? ... c section ..gall bladder remove al?

I had a c section 3 years ago a full hysterectomy a year ago and this pain is just different and it isn't as bad at al!!!!!! And this coming from a complete baby!!!! My pain was intense but I think I was all gas pain. Something I didn't have with other surgeries. Also my nurse was not on top of getting my pain meds. I should have been every 6 hours and I was lucky to get them every 7-8. Good luck
