Anyone else getting sleeved in August?



Recommended Posts

August 7th!! I have been on this forum for hours a day just trying to be more informed. I'm going to start shopping for my liquids. I am required to do a 2 week liquid diet. What about everyone else and what liquids will you drink? My nutritionist said anything with a straw.

I'm another one being sleeved in August. August 6th I go in and I'm so excited. I have my dietician appointment on Tuesday so I will be interested to see how long I'll need to do the Meal Replacement shakes for.

Hi, I'm new here today. I am having the operation on 19th Aug in Windsor U.k. Very excited about the future. I've not told anyone apart from my partner who is very supportive. It's not very well known here and I fear negative conversations. I'm getting married April 2015 and so looking forward to being a slim bride. Lots to look forward to. Debbie

I don't have a set date yet' date=' but I was told end of July or early August. I am wondering if there are others like me? ... I have been heavy for the last 15 years (yikes!) since my first pregnancy. I eat Kosher and heavy veggie healthy small meals. I don't drink coffee or soda. I don't smoke. Yet, I am still 100+ pounds over weight! Anyone else in this same boat? I am nervous and excited, and can't wait to get the surgery over with to move forward. I am worried about having a high Protein diet? Is this hard for anyone? What are some suggestions? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

I have been overweight off and on since I was in the first grade. I drink very few sodas, have tried to eat healthy but just cannot lose weight any more. I lost 155 lbs. between 05 and 08 but have regained 100 of those pounds. Now I truly detest my body. Have met with the surgeon and am waiting to see what insurance will do. I must lose 10 lbs. and have a stress test before I go back.

It was the same for me I started the process on June 9 and the earliest dates Dr. Alvarez had were in August i chose 9th. I have heard nothing but great things about him. My mom was also sleeved with Dr. Alvarez 6 years ago and has done great.

I'll see you there!

Hi, I'm new as well. I'm living in the UAE but traveling back home to the UK for my op. I'm having my consultation on 26th with Dr Mannur at the Spire Roding Hospital. I have a couple of friends who have been sleeved by him. Hoping to have the op on 15/16th August a little nervous. I will die if I can't have it so fingers and toes crossed. My name is Joanne :-)

      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.
