September Sleevers...! Come on in and chat!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone -

I'm scheduled for lapband to sleeve revision on September 16 in Houston.

My post-op appointment is August 21 and then I'll start the liquid diet on September 2.

I'm curious to see how it goes. I've heard the revisions may not lose as much as first timers.

I also need to figure out how to set up that tracker here!

Tonight is my "last supper" for a while since tomorrow dawns a new dieting day. liquids, other liquids, and still more liquids! Did I mention that chocolate is my favorite drink, candy, and Friendly's chocolate fribbles rule! At least I won't be thirsty and I am psyched to face being hungry until I get my appetite in line with my mind.

My pre-op lab work, X-Ray, Nutritionist and Doctor appointments are August 29th (talk about the last minute) and VAG is scheduled for September 3 at the Bayshore Medical Center. Two days in the hospital, 5 days recovery at home and then doctor's followup appointment.

I have a high school reunion coming up on Columbus Day Weekend. The reunion is at a great restaurant with dining, drinking, and dancing - the potential for an embarrasing "blowout" is off the chart.

Being on a liquid diet and still healing in the face of a great menu, open bar, and dancing is way too tempting. Worse yet is the following morning's Breakfast buffet, OMG, I am (was) a lover of all things breakfast including mimosas.

Yup, time to scratch attending the reunion and focus on my bigger picture. Tomorrow I find the correct temperatures for chocolate Protein drinking, clear protein chicken Soup, and learn to drink 64 oz. of Water like a fish.

Hi,

My surgery date is September 12th. A little apprehensive. But I am looking forward to being healthier. I already exercise 4 days a week, I walk 3-6 miles. I plan on walking another 1/2 marathon in November. i now I will walk faster if I have lost weight. a little worried about weight loss stalls and what if this doesn't work. My surgeon has a very strict diet for the 8 weeks post op. 2 weeks of Clear Liquids, 2 weeks of full liquids, 2 weeks of yougurt, baby food meat and Protein Shakes, then 2 weeks of ground meat, flakey fish. Then I can try other food. It should be interesting. I started this process back in February. I should have had surgery in May but the Drs. office is very slow and has lost my paper work a time a or two.

Hey! I am scheduled for Sept. 10th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am considering going by myself bc I really want to keep this private. I will be there Sept. 9-14th. I might be able to play with my dates. We need to keep in touch if you don't mind.

      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.
