Any May sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I will be one year post-op on Thursday the 8th. I want to tell you this it THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Except having my daughter of course. I have said it before and I will say it again, I would do this surgery once a year if that's what it took to keep my sleeve. I don't regret it for a single second!!! Here's to all the May sleevers, you are doing amazing things for yourself, and your health!! Congrats. :)

Thank you for posting this. It really does make me feel better. I'm 6 days into my preop diet wondering how I will ever be able to eat this little for a lifetime. But I guess having most of your stomach gone helps with this problem. :)

I will be joining the May Sleevers on the 19th so I am getting everything ready. I am having a hard time figuring out the best Multi-Vitamin and calcium citrate to purchase now to have at home for after surgery....There are so many choices in the stores and online...So I would like some first hand recommendations...

Thanks!

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

Measure yourself!! Your inches lost will keep your spirits Up!!!

Havent been on here since my appmnt that was scheduled on May 1st. I came home so disappointed. As I approach my turn to register at the front desk...I was told my insurance does not cover them. I was so furious. Ive been paying 250 for a ppo plan for about a year now and on jan 1st my plan was changed to H M O California covered program without my consent and Increased my payments to 300 a month which I didn't mind paying that much and I have. When i log into my account online it clearly states PPO and ehealthinsurance also sees PPO on their end but it was switched to H M O. I moved and no longer reside there so a waste of my two months. Now since I've moved I qualify to switch my plan. Im waiting on the transfer approval on june 1st which Is right around the corner. Please pray for me sleevers. Im so anxious to get this started. =)

Oh and Happy Mothers Day to all the hot and soon to be hotter mamas out there! ;)

      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.
