Another reason I love my gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

Just got back from Disney World where at 3 months post op I fit on ALL the rides comfortably and discovered Tower of Terror doesn't feel the same. No butterflies in my stomach since I don't have much of a stomach. Instead all I could feel on the drops was the sensation I was flying!! Really fun!!! And I didn't mind posing for family photos

We went to WDW last December and I remember thinking "this is the last time I will be here obese". I'm not sleeved yet but just waiting on the all clear from the insurance.

How did you do with your meals during your vacation?

Disney food was too rich for me. So I took food and kept at the hotel. Once a day we drove to panda express or chickfila. At panda the single serving of an entree is prefect size. At chickfila the 4 piece grilled nuggets and fruit is good. Good luck with 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.
