Sleeved Monday June 10 feeling Bored



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday and now I'm at home (since Wed). Usually when I'm at home and not working, my days are set based on what we are going to cook, parties with the neighbors etc... I woke up this morning and realized, wait a minute I can't do that anymore. That left me thinking on what in the heck I was going to do today and every open day going forward for that matter.

I thought about going to the casino, but that's going to get expensive fast... Any ideas on things to do to get past the first few weeks on this journey?

Preop weight 273

Weight now 4 days postop 247

I'm a workaholic, so it's been tough to have time off this past week. Luckily, I've slept most of my days away in between social media and TV! It's been an amazing week of R&R for both physical and mental recovery. I'm ready to head back to work Monday! It's tough to let go and enjoy the world of "nothing," but I highly recommend it!

I did start learning a new hobby, problem is the temps are now in the high '90s or over 100... I can't stand to be in the garage messing around.

A good book sounds like a pretty good idea. I will give it a shot. Hopefully it will not put me to sleep, I'm tired of sleeping.

I followed the diet to the letter, but I plan on asking the doc if this much this fast is acceptable. I will post back on his response.

How about catch up on your favorite tv series or start a new one that you have not seen before. Read a book. Take a walk with the dog. I really enjoyed all the walking I did as a post op with my dog.

I was sleeved the same day :) I've been home resting too. Mainly catching up on tv shows...watching movies and being a bum LOL It's kind of nice, but can be boring. I've been sleeping a lot too. I find I can't keep my eyes open at times.

      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.
