May 16 Sleevers? Anyone else's surgery that day?



Recommended Posts

Only 4 more days till surgery!!! Pre-op diet is going very well. Thank goodness for Ensure High Protein Milk chocolate shakes. Drinking those has been like drinking the nicest, thickest chocolate milk EVER!!! No problems following the rules. So anxious to have the surgery over with. I usually don't get nervous about things like this as I've had many surgeries, but the worry in my family is causing me extra stress. They are strong Christians and I know they will be praying very hard for me and my safety, and I'm so thankful for that. But I want to remind them to EITHER WORRY OR PRAY....DON'T DO BOTH. Thanks for listening. Let me know if anyone else is being sleeved this Friday. I want to keep in touch and follow your progress! Thanks so much!

I agree, good luck. My surgery is tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 10:30. It's kind of strange. I'm not real excited or nervous yet. I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow when I get there.

My surgery is on the 17th. I'm so excited and scared. The whole "what if it doesn't work for me". Actually petrified!

      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.
