December 2013 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Approved for the Sleeve! BUT... I had to have another prior authorization submitted with the RNY procedure because of Barrett's diagnosis. Ugh! I'm scheduled tentatively for the 30th. I'd hope that an approval for sleeve would translate to an approval for the bypass.

I'm being sleeved on Tuesday and everyone around me (including my sisters and husband) seems to have a bad cold. I'm worried that, if I get the cold, it will be postponed (and I'll just have to continue the pre-op diet for several more weeks).

My doctor actually advised me at my last pre-op consultation that if I am not feeling well or think I may be sick at any time prior to my surgery date to make sure I call the office because it may have to be rescheduled. So with that in mind, I have been trying to steer clear of anyone with so much as a cough. Lol. Try to avoid them if at all possible!!

It's is so hard to not eat and drink together. I just had Soup at Newks and I had to wash it down with Water. I'm full as a tick, which is great, but sometimes I don't see how you can avoid a sip!

Tomorrow (December 31) is the day I have my surgery! I'm very excited and nervous. I have been so wrapped up reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" on Kindle and reading the post on here that I have neglected to see how my girlfriend has been holding up emotionally. We are good now...I hope. See you all on the Post Op Forum tomorrow afternoon :-)

Tomorrow is the day!!! I'm super excited. Can't wait to start this new journey. @life2celebrate I was wondering about getting that book on my Kindle as well. I have heard some great things about it. I think I'll get it too!

      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.
