June 2013 Sleevers! "The List"



Recommended Posts

sleeping is a little uncomfortable but have found sleeping in a recliner to be much easier for me. Getting all req liquids down is rough. Aside from that and abdominal soreness, doing pretty good. Feeling a little better each day.

Before pictures:::: make sure everyone takes before shots!! Trust me!! You will have days that you feel that your not losing, your bad days... Look at that before shot and it will help you remember!!

This is my second go around..( so to speak) I've list 36 lbs since my first appt with my doc in dec... The 19th is fast approaching and ill say that I'm more nervous this time around. My biggest fear is to wake from surgery and it could not have been done again for the second time. ( first time was due to a mass on my stomach) so this is all a second chance for me... The surgery saved my life once and now it's time to go again. I have a friend who is having the sleeve in the same day, same doc. We are sleeve buddies! Looking forward to the other side if the sleeve! :)

June 19th.... My surgeon promised me that when I wake I will have the sleeve... If there are complications he will open me up and forgo laparoscopic ... Or go ahead with bypass.... It's been a long road....

Along with pictures, measure yourself as well! I took my before shots in capri yoga pants and a tank top (don't own a sports bra) and started an Excel spreadsheet on my computer for measurements (i.e. bust, thigh, waist, neck, etc.). I know there will be times the scale may not be moving, but the inches lost will! Definitely excited to have "after" and "during" pictures to show off someday!

      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.
