Less than 2 weeks till sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Good for you! I wish I had less than two weeks left. I am in the midst of all the medical clearances and they are overwhelming. I do see the surgeon this coming Monday so maybe that will give me a better sense. You must be getting nervous!

Yeah the constant flow of appointments every week on my day off is getting a bit old but it's all worth it. My doctor has been good about trying to get more than one in every week so that's been nice. As for the nerves definitely, but I just keep trying to focus on the results of it all. Honestly I have been struggling more with focusing on my diet since I scheduled the surgery. I keep having this feeling I need to live it up before I can't do it. I had to fast before my blood tests today and after no food for 12 hours my mind was racing with all kinds of bad stuff to eat. Lol ended up eating right but it was a tough decision.

Congrats! I have the same date:)

Well I got one more test to do then it's game on 2/25/14. Both excited and a little nervous for it all but can't wait to have it all done and start moving forward.

87formula, I can totally relate to the feeling of being out of control with my diet now that surgery is scheduled. Every time I have something that I enjoy, I tell my bf, I have to enjoy this while I still can. But then talk about how post op and how much healthier we will be eating. Initially I got excited and lost ten pounds a few weeks ago, then went totally off the wagon :( But thats the reason we need this surgery. We dont have that self control. Best of luck to you..

My doctor doesn't do the pre op diet, he just has me cutting back on stuff, and watching what I eat and working out. He said he thinks that works better so I am not weak during surgery.

      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.
