May 2014 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Congrats! I totally understand about your excitement and fear. I feel the exact same way. I've read too many stories about things that can go wrong and it worries me. I think that's normal, though, don't you? I've only bought a liquid Multivitamin and Calcium chews so far, haven't bought vit d or B12 yet. I drink Chike almost every day, and I love it! Not only does it taste good to me, but I like the fact that it is a Meal Replacement shake, not just Protein, so it has Vitamins in it as well. The strawberry is my fave, but I've had them all, and they are all good.

Thanks Ladybug123! I'm going to order some and I'll let you know!

I'm so flooded with emotions!! I talked to my nurse yesterday and she confirmed that May will be my month!!! I have all my evals done and they all went great. Next steps are waiting to hear back from insurance, visit to my PCP, pre-surgery information class on May first, and getting my official surgery date of course. I am going to be trying so hard to get adjusted to this new life in advance best I can but boy is that harder then I thought it would be! Lol!

Congrats Emarie! I too am trying to prepare ahead of time by adjusting eating habits. I am completely off of soda, thanks to It being Easter season and me giving up sodas for lent. I figure why torture myself and start them up again after Easter only to have to give them up again a few weeks later. I've been making a point of eating Breakfast daily and having a snack of V8 and low fat snack crackers (single serving pack) in the afternoon so that I won't over eat at supper. I'm only having single portions, no seconds. And I've really been working on increasing my Water intake... Up to between 40 and 60oz a day. I plan on starting my pre-op diet a month out instead of the required two weeks although I will modify it and add more fruits and veggies than I will be allowed 2 weeks pre-op. I plan on starting a daily walk next week. And I need to get started on my Vitamins as well! I'm so excited for my new life to begin and so ready to have my surgery! I'm terribly nervous and somewhat scared but all in all, I think I'm ready! Keep us posted with your date! Mine is 5/24/14 in Tijuana, Mexico.

Congrats! I'm trying to adjust as well but not doing great on getting my Water in every day. I gave up soda 7 months ago and I had to quit smoking. I think giving up soda was harder than the cigs!

      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.
