Being followed by local news station for a year



Recommended Posts

Hey Vertical Sleeve Talk world - I have had my 1st segment air on the local news station here in TX. They will be following me for a year - I was honest and put myself out there in hopes I could help some people decide their plan of action on their health! They even got permission to go into the operating room. Anyhow if any of you are interested her is the link and make sure to watch both parts. www.newschannel6now.com click on News tab and go down almost to bottom and look for "Walk with Irene".........I was sleeved on 7.17 - enjoy!

You are very brave! Congratulations on your project and the education you will be giving to others that do not know about the sleeve as an option is priceless. :D :D :D

I don't see it.

You can search the site for A Walk with Irene and it will pull it up for you. I couldn't find it just by looking either.

      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.
