Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled for April 1st!!! It is starting to feel real, probably for the first time!! I cannnnnot wait!! But at the same time feel so scared. I feel like I did when I was 2 weeks prior to labor...the anxiety! :) Congrats to you!

My revision from Lapband to sleeve in on April 1st as well :) I am totally freaking out at this point!

Hello, my name is Stephanie - I just got my approval today :) I should be hearing from a nurse soon on a date. I'm excited and nervous. Ready to get this show on the road...although not ready for the pre-op diet :/ I guess I'm dreading the hunger most of all those 2 weeks. At least after surgery I won't get the massive hunger pains I will have those 2 weeks.

I've been looking around on other threads and have seen some complain about how things aren't what they expected after surgery like hitting plateaus and such. Freaked me out a bit but I'm just going to take this journey one day at a time. I"m sure there will be some ups and downs. But I feel like every person has different reactions to such changes in their lives so I can't sit around and worry that MAYBE the same things will happen to me.

I'm in this with all of you :) We CAN do it!!!!!

VegasgalVS, I'm April 12th also! There's also a Facebook page for April 2013 sleevers. The settings are secret so you would need to contact Khloe and she can add you. There's a link somewhere in the pre-op section

      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.
