17 DAZE BEFORE MY GASTRIC SLEEVE..who is close with me?



Recommended Posts

HELLO TO ALL!!! I have not been on in a while. Trying to get through the HOLIDAYS without gaining. I did well, only put on 5lbs..

I"m about to start the liquids... So I have been shopping for things like that. When I started looking in to this, it has to be over a year now.....My surgery Date is Feb 4th...Only in Dec did they mention about "pul "sleep study Doctor".. I made the appt, but it would not be enough time for me to go for a Study.. So the Doctor did "breathing test in his office" I did the treadmill and such. He than sent a letter to the Surgeon for me to have my Operation. YEA!!!! 17 DAYS to go... Almost can't believe it. I will start the liquids on Tues this week. Hope I can do this.. Let me know if any of you are close to my Date. Would love to hear from you.... As always wishing you all the Best.. JEWELJ

I start my 3 week pre-op liquid diet in 3 days and will be sleeved on Feb 10th. I'm freaking out a bit. My BMI is 53.3 and I need it to be under 52 before surgery or they will charge me an extra 500$ for anesthesia. Hopefully the 3 week all liquid diet will get me there! I need to lose like 20 lbs. Ahhhh!!

      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.
