My future and my sleeve....



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I had complications after getting my sleeve in January, the last couple of months I have improved but I am so scared what the future may hold for me and my sleeve. I want to be one of the people who never have another issue and happily goes through life but I start reading about complications other people get further out (Poor RJ, she should be given medal xxx) and worry what might be. I know this sounds crazy cause no-one can predict the future but it really concerns me. Any thoughts???

Don't borrow trouble. Take life as it comes.

Stay positive and take one day at a time. No one knows what the future holds for any of us. Don't worry about what could happen. Concentrate on the now and how well you are doing and how far you have become ok.

complications - improved but - scared what the future may hold for me and my sleeve

Unhappysleever

i think changing your name would be a positive/step in the next direction!!!!

try not to think of the negative/past "unhappysleever" :o

ie "newandimprovedsleever" ;)

just a thought -_-

sorry you had complications :(

I/we can only imagine that things must have been so difficult to deal with :(

if you - referring to me and others here - have never gone through issues/problems its hard to put ourselves in your shoes

but...........try not to think about "possible" problems

you/me/we/all of us (people in regular life too) must/can only live one day at a time

you'll always sadly remember your past :(

it is true that problems can arrise at a later time :angry:

but you have to move on (easier said than done)

what happens in the future????

I can't predict it - but i can continue to do my best to "mold" it

to maintain/and improve my healthy/happy lifestyle

hope things continue to improve

and your life gets better and better each day

keep up the wonderful job i'm sure you are doing :)

while we continue to see "less and less" of you

good luck :)

      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.
