New Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for your reply bino. Dr. Nusbaum comes highly recommended! Somebody from dr. Ward office actually recommend him that's why I decided to go on a second consult. I can already tell the staff is friendlier over the phone. I cannot wait to meet him !

How did your consult go? My weight loss is going slow, but I've been under a lot of stress with my mom being very sick and having to put her on hospice.

everything went amazing. I'm actually schd for surgery June 18th.

I'm looking for one as well. I would love to get together and actually talk to others who have gotten this done. I've only been able to speak with nurses and doctors. Nobody who's actually been through it.

North Bergen is like 30 minutes away from me I think. But yea staying hydrated is the hardest for me. Some days I can drink 5 bottles of Water. Others I struggle to finish 1. Everyday is a new challenge. As if right now eating soft foods. Only thing added is I can eat ground chicken or turkey. I try to keep my diet pretty restricted tho since I don't eat meat. I get my Protein thru shakes

      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.
