For My April Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about starting a Facebook page for all of us April sleevers to keep each other accountable. If I were to do this, would anyone be interested in joining? Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with all the messages on the original April thread. Just wondering. :)

EDIT: I went ahead and made the group. It is a "Secret" group to protect the privacy of those of us who aren't telling friends & family about our procedure. No one outside of the group will be able to see the group itself, who is a member, and the posts therein. To be added, please pm (private message me) the e-mail address you have associated with facebook, and I will send you an invitation right away. The invite will be from Khloé. :)

If its closed people can see on your timeline that you joined. If its "secret" people can not see anything about the group existing.

The Facebook setting says that only members can see posts. It's not a "Secret" group but is a "Closed" group. I'm not telling anyone about me getting the sleeve either. None of the posts have shown up on my newsfeed. I can change the settings to "Secret"if it would help us all feel more secure. Just pm me your e-mail address and I'll add ya to the group after I do so. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
