October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I am officially sleeved! I would've posted yesterday, but the WiFi was down at the OCC. Anyway just wanted to let you all know Raven and I came through surgery. No pain, but just lots of oral secretions and intermittent nausea for me but we're both doing great. Our whole group did wonderful :)

Day 10 of my liquid diet. Some days are ok, and some frankly suck eggs. The good news is I'm down 15 from my pre-op appt and surgery is next Monday. I can do anything if I keep focused.

Thank you! Now I have to focus on how to get all the Fluid in that they want me to drink. I'm trying but it's hard.

I'm in day six out and honestly feeling amazing!! I actually feel like I want to eat something other then liquids, but I'm following my plan. Stepped on the scale today and so far from my starting weight of 208.4 I weighed 195.3!!!! Amazing to be under 200! I have my ten day follow up Friday and I'm hoping I can start puréed foods soon. I'm able to get about 47oz of Fluid down plus my shakes today so far! Best of luck to everyone!! I feel so good I hope to get a mani pedi Friday!! :)!!

No regrets!! 100% in love with my sleeve!!

Do you get a full sensation after you eat or sip? I am 5 days out and I have yet to feel "full" but I also cannot take much in because it hurts.

I'm not for sure if full is the right way to say it. I feel like I need to burb and its like a air bubble. I sip pretty slow, but sip all the time. From what my doctor said to me I really won't feel full until I start eating food. It's much easier to tell then. Hope the pain stop soon for you! I walk five min every hour and drink drink drink. It makes a huge difference to walk.

I am new to the group. I am getting my sleeve Oct 14, I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I'm self paying, my doctor is Dr Telem in Stony Brook NY. I am 5'3" and currently 208. I feel like it came up on me very fast, started the process 3rd week of July. I have not told my family or friends, just my husband (the kids don't even know). Not sure how to handle people's opinions so I just decided to avoid giving them the chance.

I find what works for me to keep my mind off of not actually eating is to keep busy. All the things I've procrastinated from doing are being checked off one by one.

Yeah, same here. My closets haven't been this clean all year. And any remaining dust bunny in my house must be shaking in its boots with fear. I've been a cleaning freak today.

      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.
