January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Had my EGD today and begin my preop diet! I was very nervous for the EGD but it was fine, my throat hurt a little afterwards and the anesthesia made me sooo sleepy, I slept the whole day afterwards. The hospital was nice, it's where I'm having my sleeve done so it was cool to get to see it beforehand. It's all starting to seem more real to me.

Junkfood.. it help's to go through the anesthia too! Makes everything a little less scary! I started my liver shrinking diet today. My surgery is in two weeks (1/20) so I am feeling that it's "getting real"!! The hospital is beautiful and staff is fantastic. I know I'm in good hands! I'm sure you are 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.
