Just moved to July 2nd



Recommended Posts

My surgery was scheduled for July 24th, but some upcoming changes in my life dictated that I get on the train a little more quickly, or put it off till this fall (which would have really devastated me, since I've been mentally preparing for so long!). I love the people at NWWLS in Everett - Leigh worked to get me in on July 2nd, and I'm extremely grateful to her for putting up with my frantic calls :)

Now the surgery is oh-so-real - I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Monday, and I'm determined to stick with it and lose 10 lbs.

Thanks, all!

I'm having a bit of the "what am I doing???" anxiety this morning, but it will pass. I'm excited at the same time, so it does feel a little odd B-)

I am going through nwwls also. I think sometime in August. Trish will submit to insurance after I meet with nut next week. When is your surgery and who is your surgeon? Mine is dr. Chock

I have Dr Michaelson, and my surgery is on July 2nd. Have you met with Sarah (the dietician) before? She's a sweetheart :)

Hi' date=' we have the same sleeve date. Just wondering how you are caring. I live in houston.[/quote']

I'm doing great! I've been able to get in around 60 grams of Protein and somewhere between 48 and 65 oz of liquid while I've been on the full liquids. I'm about to start soft foods, and I expect it will be a bit tougher to get my Protein initially, so I'll be sticking with at least one Protein shake a day.

My pain is pretty minimal at this point - a little still in my left shoulder and an occasional nudge from a couple of my incisions. I also still tire a bit easily, but not so badly that I can't function. I could have probably done fine at work starting last Monday. I walked about 2.5 miles today.

How are my fellow July 2nd sleevers doing?

      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.
