July sleevers! Are we ready!



Recommended Posts

I get sleeved on Wed. July 24!!! I ordered my Vitamins, but they aren't in yet, have 1 weeks worth of low cal Protein Powder, most all of my medications, but I'm SO nervous. I'm mainly nervous about 'dumping', hunger, and nausea.

I"m SO glad to have found this support forum online!

Hi! Sleeved on July 16 and doing well. This is my first post! I guess my only complaint is bloating! I hate it!

Same here! Although nothing is needed at the hospital besides your clothes, I feel like something is missing. I hate that feeling. Good luck tomorrow!!

American woman, I'm right up the road from you! I live near 287 & 20. I shop in Mansfield often and I go to the movies there. So we are fellow foodies... I had my "last supper" tonight at Red Lobster. I have been craving scallops and wanted a few before I start shakes tomorrow. I had a beer to Celebrate. I know ... but it was a light beer! Probably my last one!

I have gradually gotten myself up to 250 pounds from 180 only six years ago. I went from 110 to 180 over the course of 30 plus years that included three pregnancies. I was a little bitty thing ... I'm more than twice the woman I was when I got married!

I NEED to lose weight. It's a struggle to carry around all of this extra weight. I was very active 10 years ago ... Camping, hiking, biking, rafting, had a sailboat. Now I can't even hike through the mall! I ride a cart at Walmart and Target. I'm so ready to lose the weight!

Good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow and the rest of the week. Ill be thinking of you!

      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.
