March Sleevers Where are You



Recommended Posts

I get my surgery done tomorrow morning. I'm beginning to get very nervous. It does not help that the weather is supposed to get really bad tonight into the morning and it might be a difficult commute! I'm so nervous

hi Ashley- I feel for you. I can eat low carb low fat preop (doing it now) and because I'm a fatty I'm having a hard time not doubling up those meals...BUT, I'm doing it and you can too....Drink Water till your floating. How about a Protein Shake they are thicker? It's only three days, you can do it girl!! Keep us updated :)

Hello shannflo- I have the same date as you and preop dieting too (not liquids though) I used Isopure low carb Dutch chocolate w/ skim milk after my lapband (I had the band 7 yrs till it slipped) that's what I'm thinking of using postoperative too. Let us know what Protein shake you end up liking. I'm more into finding a protein shake that's like drinking chocolate milk.

I'm a stay at home mom/ wife but I've been reading people taking off at least a week but would have been happier if they did 2 weeks.

      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.
