July 30th is the day! Who is with me?



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I have my pre-op meeting with my surgeon. It's when I will find out what time my surgery is and all the last minute details. I'm so excited to know more details. It's a little surreal to me right now and each step makes it more real.

July 30th here. Ready but nervous. Researching and getting my head wrapped around the mental issues I may go through of loving food, being bored and wanting to eat. I have high pain tolerance but get nauseated at the drop of a hat. Don't want nausea!

July 30th for me. Not nervous...yet. Going by myself to Mexico, but I've traveled enough to be comfortable with it all. Can't wait to compare notes with you all in a few weeks. Now that we're down to the countdown phase, I am definitely starting to get excited. Good luck to all you July sleevers! Here we goooooo!

Just checking in with you July sleevers. I was sleeved July 19th. I ended up spending 2 nights in the hospital. Honesty I would have stayed 3 if they wanted me to. I had the best nurses. The day of surgery I weighed 277. As of today, 7 days from surgery I weigh 263. I'm so happy. I'm a little on the tired side but I'm doing day by day. The best decision I have made in a long time was to have WLS. Any questions, you can email me @ jenray83@yahoo.com. I am hear to help you all and answer any questions you may have. Gods luck and god bless :)

Tuesday is the day! Not too nervous I guess. Never been under general anesthesia and hoping I don't say something too embarrassing coming out of it, lol. My biggest fear is nausea. I already get nauseous from anything (car rides, any motion I'm not in control of making). Not too fearful of pain, as I have had a cesarean and PA said it is not any worse than that, and I wasn't in pain at all. Another hurdle will probably be cooking for my 3 year old and legally blind husband. Afraid the mental "want" to eat will be frustrating, cooking all their meals. I know I can do this though! And I can't wait for the results!! Eeek!!

Did u guys ever cheated on your Pre op diet

We have friends over that I cook for on Sunday evening, so I did tend to eat less healthier things on that day, for that meal only. Then I got right back on track come Monday morning. It never affected my weight loss. I don't think one meal a week, and not gorging yourself, will hurt your weight loss overall IMO. My biggest friend has been Water, Water, water! Keeps it all moving!

      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.
