December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

My date is 12/5/13 with dr. Umback. I am most scared about being alone in Las Vegas for a few days after surgery. Are any of you going out if town for your procedure? How long are you waiting before you travel home?

Hi brennalynn84 - I have added you to the list (back on the previous page), and welcome to the group. I know there are a few people here having their surgery in Mexico, so hopefully they will respond to you...

Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

Thank you. The surgeons office keeps saying 72 hrs, but they don't have my post op until 4 days later. I am really hoping to fly home sooner, I will miss my kids terribly!

Blondiee, I agree! However, I feel like with Thanksgiving coming up and getting things in order for Christmas, it's going to go pretty quickly!

Ummm, can this month just hurry up and be OVER already?!?!?!?!?!? I'm sure some you you might feel the same way. :D;)

Congratulations on getting your date Coach!!

Okay...got my date! I'm joining the group on December 10th. I am 66, my current weight is 263...need to lose another 3-7 pounds, but shouldn't be hard on the pre op diet. THAT will be hard, I'm sure. Hooray! Not long now.

I think that would freak me out to have it moved up!! Heating pad, Gas-X strips and recliner!!

Hi all! My surgery date just got moved from Dec 11th to Dec 2nd! WHOOO HOOO!

So much to do in such a short time. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hugs to all!

      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.
