hopefully I'm in July



Recommended Posts

What a week! Crazy! But now I'm bummed. While I'm very excited about getting sleeved I really thought it would be in June. Now they tell me they are already scheduling for July. IF I'm lucky I'll get in on the tail end of July. I REALLY don't want the begining of August because I'm a teacher and have all sorts of inservices to go to during that time..... AND I now I realize that one pair of shorts is so not gonna cut it for the next 2 months....

Sorry for the vent, but I really want to get this new phase of my life started. :o)

Take a deep breath and try to relax. It is what it is and you may not be able to change it. I was sleeved last year in July and I'm 7 lbs away from goal. Try to look forward to the end result. This is major surgery and you will find every step of this process is for a reason. Your hard work has only begun and you will always have to work at eating what's right the rest of your life. Have fun with this I did! Good luck!

I feel your pain! I was originally may 17. Found out I have ulcers so now I am July 17. Hoping it stays on that date! We can hope together!

As a fellow teacher, I totally understand the push to get that date all squared away for summertime! I'm probably going to be a July sleever too, unless I end up having to wait longer than anticipated for insurance clearance. *fingers crossed*

I'm itching to get my date set in stone, too, but in the meanwhile, I just keep planning for success after the procedure. Got my Vitamins, got a Protein Powder that I've been incorporating into my daily diet, and so far I've lost 10 pounds. I'm trying to keep my focus on things that I can control, while I wait for The Date to be finalized.

It'll get here, and then we'll really be headed for success!

      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.
