Pennsylvania sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Not bad! I'm deff sick if Protein shakes already though. Can't stand them. Still a little sore at the main incision site but only if I really laugh or try and lay on my right side. Which sucks since I'm a side/belly sleeper. lol.

Not sure how much if any I have lost post op and I'm not gonna check till I go for my two week at the Dr office. My plan is to not look at the scale unless I'm there. Hopefully I can stick to that.

I drink Protein Shakes everyday now, and have for the past two years so I am hoping my love for them does not change post op. I am scheduled for surgery 10/10/16.

I feel the same as you about the scale. I have been ruled by it my entire adult life. Once I have surgery, I am going to give to my sister so it is out of my place. I belong to a group on FB and so many people are obsessed with the scale. The minute they don't see it move they talk about how much they regret their sleeve. I actuLly feel bad that they are so focuses on that number.

My reasons for no scale is I didn't do this for a specific number I did this to be healthy for my boys, and my self. I don't care what my end weight is as long as I'm healthier then than I am now. And now I'm healthier than I was, so I'll keep looking at it that way. I'm gonna focus on eating "drinking right now" right and getting back into shape. The number will take care of itself.

      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.
