Any April sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi Sherrinita. Can you share your pre-surgery diet with us and have you tried any Protein Shakes yet ?

I use My Fitness Pal to keep up with the foods I eat and my calorie intake....I just found a Protein that I really love and it is the Target Brand (Market Pantry) whey Protein 25 grams Vanilla....I love it so much...I mix it with Almond milk vanilla and use my blender with a little ice....awesomeness.....

I've been out of the loop for a few days and just popped on to catch up. Boy!, you all are so far ahead of me on being organized! I still haven't had a chance to try/order any Protein Drinks. I better get a move on! ???? Had my appt with the physicians assistant on Tuesday and got my orders for all my per-op testing. I'm very happy that the hospital I'm using has one central person and she takes care of setting up all the appointments! My life is so nuts that this is a huge lifesaver. April 8 here I come!!

I've decided to wait on my expensive Protein Shakes. So many people say your taste changes after surgery. So I'm gonna save trying those till after surgery. I'm nervous too! It feels too close, but far away.... If that makes sense. Lol. If y'all have usernames for My Fitness Pal, lets share, that's a good way to keep up with each other also!!! Mine is weezie64 add me!!!

Hi Deena. I took a long time after the initial orientation to make a firm decision. After all....this IS major surgery. However I reached the decision that I wanted my life back for myself, my husband and my family. I'm a little nervous about it but am looking forward to the ultimate result. Good luck to you and don't forget to post on here to let everyone know what step you're at and how your weight loss is progressing !

Hi Simone, you are a week before me. I look forward to hearing all about your post surgical experiences. Have you received all your clearances yet ? What kind of pre-op diet will you have to be on ?

Hello, I waited two years for my surgery. I'm scheduled for April 10th. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I can't wait until it's finally over and I can claim my spot on the loser's bench. Good luck to all the April Sleevers!

      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.
