October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Thanks! I'm surprised with how low the pain is. Just felt like I've been exercising lol. My mom had hers done today too but she's having some issues with her breathing and throat. But all should be well we've been told. They think she had the star of a flu or cold.

Prayers for my mom and speedy recovery.

Are you and your mum in the same hospital? It must be hard to look after yourself when you are worrying... Take care, and hope your mum is better soon.

Scheduled for the 29th - first day of liquid diet - not too bad - hope the rest of the week follows suit!

Congrats to all of those who have been sleeved - I hope I am as lucky as those who have come out w no complications pain or nausea.

Today was my last day (I hope) of requesting a seatbelt extension for a flight!!! No more travel until next year... And by then my Oct 21 surgery date starts to see the health improve and the waist go down!!!

Did you see the story about the big guy here in NZ who bought 2 plane tickets? - They gave him 2 seats in 2 different rows!

I was really crook for the first 24 hours also - then I started to rapidly improve. Sending positive thoughts to you and your mum.

I think it was just a mistake. The man was not impressed, but I did see the funny side. Mind you, it wouldn't be funny if it was me!

Halloween for me. I think I'm reading too much. Starting to think I shouldn't go through with it.

I know the feeling! Mine is on the 31st and I had pre op class today. My mind is reeling, I know its the right choice but I am still stressing about it!!

      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.
