I was sleeved October 18th by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I'm really struggling with ideas of things to eat. Anybody here give me ideas on things you did; especially the first few weeks. Protein ideas please! Please!

I bought the wls surgery cookbook for dummies there is some great ideas in there

Congrats to you all you!!! Very helpful post! It's good to learn all you're posting for us pre-op's.

I'm schedule for 11/15/13' date=' starting diet 11/1

I have several inquiries

Anyone a diabetic type 2?

High blood pressure?

Are you off all meds after your WLS?

Are you you able to sleep in your side after surgery?

Do they strap you down on the surgery table! I don't like feeling of being pindown or strapped for anything. Freaks me out

I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, do they give Meds before surgery to help calm nerves down?

Hello there. I was sleeved on the 22nd and have type 2 diabetes so I thought I would answer your questions. I am also on blood pressure meds as well. Prior to surgery, I had to take 3 pills for blood pressure and 2 pills for diabetes. After surgery, they have reduced each pill by one. I was told they are working on getting me completely off the diabetes meds. It is kind of hard to sleep on the side where they took the stomach out of that incision. It was on the right side for me. They do strap you down. You can ask for antianxiety meds to be put in ur iv to help you during the process. I hope this helps.

Tomorrow is my day too. I'm not sleeping well because of the excitement also. I think the lack of carbs from the pre op diet also has my body in overdrive. Carbs are like a drug to me, make me super sluggish. We'll anyways, we are sleeve twins. I wish you the very best. Prayers up for all October sleevers!

      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.
