March sleevers anyone?



Recommended Posts

Mine is on March 20, glad to see there are some others that are march 20th as well. I had to have both my feet operated on last week for bunionettes, I am on bedrest now, I just hope I can walk through the airport and the pain between my feet and tummy won't be overwhelming. The surgery on the feet really distracted me for the past couple months thinking of that surgery. Now that its done, I know the big surgery is coming quick. Anyone got ideas of what they are going to bring with them. Is anyone bringing someone with them. My brother is coming with me, my husband is staying home with the kids.

Started liquid Opti-fast diet for 3weeks today. As in today is Day 1. Surgery on March 18th.

Not too nervous, as my wife had it in June of 2012, and I kind of know what to expect. She is doing great and turned me into a believer. Hardest part at this point is the liquid diet. I love to eat. Blew it up yesterday with O'Charlies for lunch, nice Sirloin, potato Soup and loaded baked potato, and supper was shephards pie. Figured if I couldnt have solids again until Almost May, might as well go out with a bang lol.

I can do without the foods for now, but sweet tea is my soft spot. I can have de-caf with artificial sweetener, but that's sacrelig. New life, gotta go cold turkey and turn over a new leaf.

Justin I don't know if you've heard of Mio but you add it to Water and there's nothing in the Mio that hurts us just makes drinking water yummy! I believe there's a Mio that tastes like sweet tea! My friend buys it for her son...just a thought!!

Hey all! I am being sleeved on March 5th and I am starting to get nervous... The pre-op diet has been an adjustment the past few weeks, but I've lost 26lbs. Both of my parents were sleeved recently and they are doing great! I know that we are all making the right decision...

I'm also Mar 20 . I'm from long island. I haven't started the pre open diet yet. However I did have to quit smoking. It's been a nightmare not smoking and at the same time not stuffing my face to compensate

March 20 and from patchogue! Cool!

      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.
