Ready for Band to disappear and get sleeved



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 22nd and I am very nervous about getting sleeved. I'm nervous about the recovery, nervous about failing, nervous about the surgery itself. My surgeon's staff says it's the best decision I could have every made. Luckily, Aetna approved the surgery within 7 business days; lucky and not so lucky.

I am incredibly anxious and unable to stop thinking about my future surgery.

I already bought a heating pad and Gas X strips, and am searching for the perfect hospital clothes and stuffy (stuffed animal).

I'm so preoccupied with my surgery that I am finding it difficult to focus on anything else. I also stocked up on my Protein drinks!

Any guidance or advice would be most appreciated, meanwhile I will keep combing the forum.

Have a splendid day.

oh yes, i remember the change in taste buds from before. I only drink the premier Protein shakes in vanilla and chocolate; 30 grams of Protein and one gram of sugar.

I'm willing to give Gas X a try because there have been favorable reviews. I also already have baby spoons i use and tiny little bowls.

many thanks for the advice...it's definitely a new adventure!

      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.
