June 25th Sleevers? I need a buddy...



Recommended Posts

I am up and down. If I really dwell on things, I get super nervous. I just can't wait until Tuesday is here. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and the surgery is at 7:30am.

Yes! Tuesday for me too! Excited is an understatement! Not really nervous although I pray all goes well for all of us. I get my time to report to the hospital on Monday!

I get my time to report to the hospital Monday too. I am already having weird dreams about work and surgery. Tomorrow will be my last day at work for two weeks and we are already behind so it is kind of stressful. I told my coworker bough that after Monday I CANNOT be thinking about work. I need to be thinking of my recovery. How long is everyone else taking off?

Just a week, but then I will work from home for two weeks.

My doc recommends 2-4 weeks off depending on what kind of job you have. I work from home, so I am taking 2 wks off. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy last May and the hardest part for me was wearing regular pants because they rubbed my incisions wrong and then the actual driving into work everyday. This time, since I work from home, I won't have to worry about either one of those issues.

I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging :(. I have been so good' date=' high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?!

On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face :). Good luck to everyone this week!

I am taking it easy for a week, then going in for two days for three or four hours just to make some calls and tie up loose ends. Then I'll go in part time for a few weeks. Trying to ease back into it.

I agree! I think I'm in denial that this time tomorrow it will be done! Running around today tying up all those loose ends. Laundry, shopping, etc. I'm sure I will not be able to sleep tonight, but I have to get up at 0330, so it doesn't matter lol

      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.
