January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

This is my first time here. My date is Jan 15 and I am on day 4 of my liquids only. Part of me feels this is easier than I expected and part of me is dreading having to keep this up after surgery.

Welcome and congrats! Looks like your a couple days away from changing your life.

They shud have kept you in hospital until you could swallow Water without vomiting it back!

Reduce the amount of water taken on each sip and increase the time in between sips to abt 30 mins - you shud do better in another days time and then increase the frequency of water intake as soon as you stop bringing it back out.

Take small steps at a time! Cheers

In one sitting? With no pain? You are LUCKY!!

It took me two hours to eat my Jello cup today. Yesterday I couldn't do it. I think it really does depend on your healing process. It looks like mine is going to take awhile. I can't tolerate hardly anything. I just asked my mother to go buy me jars of baby food....something has to work! It took me 24 hours to drink a 16.9 oz bottle of water!!!!

So sorry to hear your having a hard time with your food. Sending Healing prayers your way.

5 day count down for me. And I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. The only problem is the hospital wont let me daughter come and send me off to surgery with a hug and a kiss so that part is a hard one.

That's odd. The hospital I used let my mom sit with me in the preop room and let her give me a hug before they wheeled me out to the operating suite. I'm sorry they won't let you have your daughter with you.

      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.
