July sleevers! Are we ready!



Recommended Posts

Surgery went well today. Was wiped out through most afternoon, but woke about 5:00 and had tons of energy.

Probably did 30 laps around the hall tonight. Very little abdominal pain, but my back aches from a disc I ruptured 4 years ago. Walking is really helping.

I am down 17.3 lbs since starting pre op. Dr says everything looks great. Husband had been amazing. I feel very blessed to have had this done. Thanks to all of you.

Same here! Although nothing is needed at the hospital besides your clothes' date=' I feel like something is missing. I hate that feeling. Good luck tomorrow!![/quote']

Home and sleeved. I took too much junk to the hospital. All I needed was Chapstick, toothbrush, comb and brush, and cell phone.

You are so blessed to have her. I'm on my own. So nervous but there's no turning back for me now. Let me know how it goes for you both please. I'm the 24th.

You can do it. I went alone and my doctor was so surprised. My nieces stayed the night last night she was asleep before me lol. She told me she was scared for me. Awwwww I know her mindset will change the first time I get on her about something. LOL.

ALL THE BEST TO THOSE BEING SLEEVED TODAY AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK!

I'm dying to weigh but my husband hid my scale at my request until I'm home for a week!! Also, I'm dreaming of pureed food which I am allowed to start on Saturday. It will be nice to go back to regular-ish meal times. My hubs is buying me a Nutri-Bullet before then. We have had a magic bullet for years and have used it a ton. So the fact that it'sdying now is no problem...it owes us nothing! but the nutri- bullet has a better construction.

      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.
