Recommended Posts

Hello All

I will complete my pre surgical classes on Nov 7. Then it is on to see the surgeon and insurance approval. I am hoping for a December date for surgery.

Hello Fellow December Sleevers!

Is everyone here going through insurance or are there any self-paying sleevers? I will be in MX during the first week of December (still finalizing my choice of surgeon and therefore date).

Hi everyone!! I'm scheduled for December 18th!!

I'm so excited but extremely nervous and anxious! I'm so afraid of being put under anesthesia. I have a child and I just keep thinking to myself that I am being selfish. But then I think to myself that I'm going to be just fine and my life will be so much better.

I am in my early thirties and I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I have always felt a bit ashamed of my size and I feel like I haven't been able to be the person I want to be. I want to be healthy, thin, and full of life. There are times that I would just rather stay home cause I don't want to be seen. My clothes just doesn't feel right and I feel heavy and tired. I don't want to be like this anymore.

I am 5'5 and weigh 215lbs. I'm just tired of feeling down, tired, heavy!

This site has really helped me because I feel like I'm not alone. We are in this journey together!

      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.
