Two weeks down 5 1/2 months to go



Recommended Posts

So far I've met worth the Dr. Made a decision on getting the sleeve had my upper GI done and I am trying to not go crazy thinking about surgery being so far out. One of my friends from work just had surgery on Friday and is now home. I am so excited for her. I get to watch and learn what to expect for when I go. She and her husband both had the surgery together.

She said back pain and headache was the first two days of pain. But it's getting better.

Our Dr is Dr Lyass in Las Vegas Nevada. All of the nurses and the doctor were all so nice!

I am 5ft4" and 207 lbs. My ultimate goal is to be about 135lbs. I cannot wait to be that confident thinner person again with more energy. I have gone on every diet known and lost 95lbs in the past. But it always comes back.

I guess my surgery will maybe be some time in July? So far off it feels like! 5 months post op will be Christmas for me and we are planning a trip to see family. Wouldn't it be great if I have awesome results by then? I always shy away from getting my picture taken because I feel so Un attractive and unsightly. Can't wait! Good luck to all of you on here!

Good Luck to you too! I had to do a 6 month supervised diet too (at least that's what I'm assuming the 6 month wait is for you). I felt like the day would never come but I will be having my surgery next Tues 3/4. I promise the time will go faster than you think. Keep up the great attitude, you can do this!!

      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.
