August 2014 sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I am working hard to get my surgery done before Labor Day. My kids go back to school the day after Labor Day and I want to be done before that circus starts. My last NUT & Psych appointments are scheduled for 7/22, my last monthly weight loss appointment with my primary care is 8/5. After that I only have to have an EGD and then it is on to surgery hopefully!

My tentative date is Aug 5th. Just waiting to get approved. I had all my pre op testing done already. I had my 3 weigh ins. My nurse said she will send in my paper work (that was Tuesday evening) not sure if she did yet.

If interested there is an Aug Facebook group also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

How do the Facebook groups work if you don't want everybody to know you're having this done? I've only told a couple family members and don't plan on telling anyone else.

I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to keep in contact with the aug dates but I don't want everyone on my FB to know

It is a closed group so no one sees what is said in the group. I could make it secret but then no one can find it.

Wouldn't people be able to see it on my friends list tho?

Well my last appointment with my surgeon is August 6th hoping to schedule my surgery for August 21st. My surgeon requires a 10 day liquid diet. I have lost 40 pounds since April 30th. People are saying "you don't need the surgery". However I do need the surgery it is a tool not a miracle. I have had a weight problem since I was a child. I don't like a lot of foods. I am a very picky eater. I don't like any food that is mixed with anything. I have never had a Mcdonalds hamburger or any other fast food hamburgers. I don't like anything on a bun. Don't like Soup, goulash or anything that mixed up. My problem is baked goods. I love to bake but I have not baked in the last three months. I joined the YMCA and I work out twice a day most days. I am up to about 6 miles a day now. Feeling much better than I used to. I am looking forward to the surgery so I don't have to worry about putting it all back on again. Good luck everyone on your weight loss journeys. I am so excited.

      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.
