Any April sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I have a date! April 15 is the day. I feel like peeing my pants. My excitement turned to terror in one phone call!

Congratulations! I know what you mean. I called my surgeon's office recently just to see if they needed any other paperwork from me, and the coordinator replied "Nope. So how does April 22nd sound?" It took me SO offguard that I exclaimed, "APRIL 22ND??!!?"...and she said "Oh, I'm sorry is that date not good for you?" I said, no no, it's fine...you just scared the crap outta me is all! hahaha...gut reactions are a funny thing. :blink:

Hi Lory! Are you from Louisiana? I sure love that state!! I love crawfish!

Gotta love those Protein shakes. I've been doing a low carb version diet created by my nutritionist at the hospital. It's funny how your cravings try to grab you. I've had to startup diet early. I've lost 26 lbs and I'm finally in the BMI range my surgeon wants.

I've been drinking MiO drink liquid. Can you have that? I love it.

I'm getting ready but second guessing myself about surgery now. I go tomorrow for my all day class and blood work. worrying about the passing of one of our vst members. i'm trying to get my thoughts straight.

Yea, reading about someone's passing really has done a number on my confidence. I have been so ready to go, and now I'm really at a crossroad. Real talk here.... Why can't I just shut my mouth and not over eat is what my brain is saying. Then it says because you've been trying for years and it doesn't or I can't get it to work. I don't want to continue like this, but I sure don't want to cut my life short fighting this fight. I hope I'm not putting a dark cloud over y'all.... I just needed to say/ type it out loud.

Who passed? Was it due to the surgery?

It was a man who was a member on this site. I didn't know him, but apparently he passed from a blood clot two weeks out from surgery.

      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.
