Looking forward to July!



Recommended Posts

I am looking to be sleeved in MX the 2nd week of July. I'm looking at July 11th or 12th, and I should be confirmed soon! I can't wait. I've told a few people, including family members, and everyone is very supportive of this major life decision. My husband is particularly supportive and will be joining me in MX for the surgery!

Anyone else being sleeved around July 11th-12th?

I'm currently around 230lbs (down from 247 in Jan 2013), and I'm 5'4.

Hi there! I am aiming for the 12th or the 15th of July. My surgeon only operates on Mondays and Fridays so we will see. I have only told my immediate family and 1 co-worker and all have been supportive. Good luck with your surgery!

I am at 258lbs and 5'5".

My NUT has me on a diet that started @ 1600 calories in 2/1/2013 and now in down to 1200 calories till June 1st then 1000 calories ...then 2weeks before surgery I go on all liquid 900 to 800 calories ... She wants to ease me into it and its actually been working ... I'm eating every 2-3 hrs so I'm not hungry and Im drinking 64oz of Water sometimes more ... I can't take the appetite suppressants because I get palpitations and I have high BP :)

      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.
