Looking for July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I've started Protein Shakes yesturday.. My pre-op diet doesn't start till July 15th but I wanted to ease into it!! I'm replacing Breakfast and lunch with a shake and then eating a healthy dinner. It's not so bad! I bought body fortress whey Protein in chocolate and vanilla! Much better than I expected! I've been looking up recipes for shakes in Pinterest, so many options out there! It's crazy to think that my new life will start in 20 days... Yahhh, still nervous but getting excited for the journey! How's everyone else feeling?

I was scheduled for the sleeve then thought I would have to do the bypass... now back to sleeve. July 22...start liquid diet Tuesday. Starting to get slightly nervous not about surgery as much as pre op willpower

My Dr. said no Peanut Butter mixed in with the shakes.< /p>

Does anyone know the calorie limit for the two weeks while doing the Protein Shakes? My surgeon wants me to have three per day, but I didn't ask my calorie limit. I would like to mix with unsweetened almond milk and add a small amount of natural peanut butter.

My surgery is July 7th. I am nervous, but excited. I have been told I don't have a pre-op diet, and just nothing to eat the night before. Also, I don't have to do the magnesium citrate.....feeling very lucky about all that!

Anyone on who has already had their procedure this month? How's it going so far? Good luck, everyone!

Well I'm using Bariatric Advantage. I've just had my second shake. A little too sweet for me. I'm not really hungry, but I will admit I would love to eat something. I'm drinking Water and cleaning my house t o stay busy a nd not think about eating. Hang in there.

I survived the night with the middle headache and some baby carrots because we are allowed to have one cup of vegetables a day. Hoping the headache stays away today. Unfortunately, I have my niece's birthday party today, but I am going to just say my stomach is sick as I have only told some of my family members. Here's to another day only 8 to go!

Hello 4my2girls, do you know why you were not required to do a pre op diet? I'm having surgery on the 18th and will have pre testing on the 7th. All the best to you on Monday as you start your journey.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
