Any May 2014 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Angie I would not move to puréed until your doc says. You can try sugar free pudding, that was easy for me. Also Dannon Light an Fit Greek Yogurt in Coconut vanilla saved me.

Thanks but I really hate pudding and yogurt but I appreciate the offers

I'm having a very difficult time staying hydrated and getting all the Protein in. I feel like I am ready to move on to puréed to but I'm scared of doing something that will be harmful. I am supposed to do full liquids until the 29th. Anyone move to puréed on the second week with no harmful effects?

I'm scheduled for surgery may 20th! Scared, and excited. I have a small scattered family so support is what I'm worried about. I know I'm going to need it. Best of health to all the May sleeves!

Don't be scared

I just ate some puréed spaghetti sauce with deer meat. About an oz. No noodles. Feels fine so far.

Just got my date the 28th. I was at the office seeing the shrink. As I was about to leave they told me the insurance was approved and ask me to pick a date. I was not ready for this. Turned out my doc had a cancelation. The office girls could see me turn green when they told me this. I am scared.

Par1959:

Just remember why you are doing this. I generally overthink everything until my decision is made. This one had me worried until the morning of but I just needed to feel the neuropathy in my feet for my worries to go. I wanted to do this because of my type 2 diabetes. They checked my blood sugar several times before and after the surgery and now I'm off all diabetes meds. The first week was hard - pains in the strangest places. Today is day 7 post-op and I'm quite happy with the results. Just keep your focus on why you chose this path to walk. And then take each step with that end in your mind.

Angie, you can't do that! I understand though, my grandma is downstairs cooking, rice neck bones and cornbread! I have been in my bedroom all day trying to avoid the smells! I understand totally,

I got sleeved May 14. More difficult recovery than I thought, as far as staying hydrated and getting Protein in. I am really just not feeling very good. Kind of blah and no energy. Also so hard with my family eating regular food and not being able to eat any of it! BUT, I have lost a total of 20 pounds so far since the pre-op diet, so that's encouraging! I know it's going to get better every day! Just need the next 2-4 weeks to go by quickly!

I was sleeved on the 16 and love my results so for down 18 lbs since is started. Fluids are going down more easily but today I was jittery because my meds I take for ADHD now go right into my stomcach and dissipate had to call my shrink and she lowed them. Gonna see me Friday to see how I do. I didn't think it could happen this fast.

      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.
