April 9th is my date and big time nervous



Recommended Posts

10 more days! I'm halfway thru my pre-op liquid diet. Everyone asks have you cheated? And Seem shocked when I say no. Unless you count sugar free jello!<br> Hope everyone is doing well and getting excited for what we have to look forward to!

I pray I will be able to get through this liquid diet like a champ. I am dreading it but I do understand it's something I must do. My daughter is 22 and being sleeved 2 hours before me I just hope she fares well too.

I am struggling honestly to get my Protein in. I think I some how have become whey intolerant not sure if that can happen. I am drinking about 40-50 oz of Water daily. Also doing okay with Greek yogurt.

Greek yogurt is my friend. :). I have 2 weeks full liquid. Then purred and mashed for 2 weeks. :). eggs next week can't wait

I'm with you. I can't wait for eggs! I'm hoping I'll get the thumbs up for puréed/mashed by Wednesday.

I am struggling to eat anything. I drink about 40 oz of Water today and get down whatever else I can. Protein drinks make me nauseous. I am so sick of sweet tasting foods! I eat Greek yogurt, pudding, Jello, Popsicles, broth, etc. and everything is sugar free. I hate artificial sweeteners, but if I must eat them for now, then I must. To make a long story short, I'm not eating much. I'm not hungry either. All of the foods I can eat are off-putting. I know I need to eat, so I continue to try to get something in me. Going to heat up some Soup now. By the way, I can only eat about 1/3 cup Soup and it takes a bit.

Yeah eggs sound so good and refried Beans too! I'm like you and tired of all the sweets. I can eat a whole 8oz of soup before being full. I also still get hungry which I thought would go away. I know I'm only 9 days out but I am worried I am going to fail at this too.

You're not going to fail! Remember the power of positive thinking. Only think about the sleeve working and focus on making it work. We've got this! We're going to have our low moments, but we have to keep our eyes on the prize. The hunger is never supposed to go away. We are just supposed to feel fuller faster due to our smaller stomachs. Don't forget there is also head hunger. You may be mentally hungry at times and not physically. Pay attention to the cues. You got this! Like you said, you're only 9 days out.

As for refried beans...YES! I'm a bean lover, so I can't wait either.

      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.
