Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm at the airport ready to depart for my life changing adventure. My surgery is bright and early tomorrow morning with Dr Alvarez at Endobariatric. I am super excited and ready with a side of nervous. I lost 17 pounds on my liquid diet and I an hoping I fit in the airplane seat without an extender... I will report back in a few and let you know if that happened. Wish me luck! :-)

Same. In mid January we had only like 20 inches last year, and this year almost 80. NO THANKS. I live just around the lake and north from Chicago. We get most if the same crap. Ick.

Ps. Where in Chicago do you live? I miss that city so much.

I'm in the south suburbs, near Joliet. I work downtown in the city. It's scary as hell now with all the ice falling off the buildings! It's like playing frogger just to get to my building every day. Lol

      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.
