June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for June 4th. I'm equally excited and scared. I'm really looking forward to my new journey, but am a little concerned about some of the potential side effects, such as vomiting and Hair loss. I'm ready to change my eating habits and lifestyle, but it makes me sad to think that I may never be able to eat certain foods again. Hopefully that concern will go away after my surgery. I would really miss eating steak though.

Hi Everyone. Surgery date is June 5th. Been on the pre-op diet for two weeks now and have less than two to go. I am reading everything I can so I can try and get everything I need for the first two weeks in the house before I have the surgery. I am very nervous and very excited.

What about Popsicles? They give you the crunch. Hope it helps. I start my one week preop on June 6th.

I just started my 2 week pre op diet for sleeve surgery on June 11 (my birthday!) in Puerto Vallarta. I'm both excited and scared. Trying not to overthink it and just get it done and move forward with life. Wish me luck, I'll keep y'all posted; by the way I'm from BC Canada in case there are any Canucks out there getting sleeved.

Hello! Another June sleever here! :)

I've been lurking for weeks and finally figured out how to reply to threads. Lol

I'm on day 7 of the pre op diet (5lbs down woo-hoo!) surgery date is June 5th in Tijuana with dr. Corvala.

In exactly one week I will be packing up and getting our kiddos settled with my parents. Anyone else with small children having major anxiety about having surgery? This will be my first flight (I have a big fear of flying) and first time with general anesthesia so I've been getting pretty emotional about something going wrong.

      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.
