getting sleeved 6/26/2014



Recommended Posts

Ever since I can remember I've always struggled with my weight..

I've been indecisive about getting the gastric sleeve for 3 years and finally this year I've decided to set my fears aside.. I love food I love the comfort of it.. Today is my first day of my liquid pre-op and all I'm thinking about is pancakes.. I went to costco to get my Protein Drinks and I couldn't stick around for too long because I was literally getting anxiety from being around all that food.. Thanks for reading...

I made an appointment a few years ago to see a bariatric surgeon and then I called and cancelled. I need this surgery and my information has been sent for insurance approval. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I will go through it! More than likely I will...I'm about 5 ft 2 and about 240 lbs. so I definitely need it. Good luck and God Bless!!!

You will not regret it! I am so much healthier and happier.. Not gonna say it was easy but it wasn't horrible either! It was well worth the small amount of discomfort for a few days!! I'm not ravenous any more... I get full quickly... I find myself choosing better food because I know I can only eat so much! I started in feb.. Lost 20 pre op... Was sleeved on 4/23 and am down 37 more pounds! I can fit into a 16 and an XL!! I haven't hit onederland yet!! That's my next goal!! I hit a horrible three week long stall from week 3 to week 6. The scale didn't move but my body shrunk! It was weird! Haha Don't weigh yourself every day!! The scale doesn't tell the whole story!! ; ) Good luck on your journey! You will love your new tummy!! I Do!!

      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.
