Justing starting my sleeve journey



Recommended Posts

Hi!!! : ) I'm a 47 year old Georgia girl.happily married with one son.I'm going on day 6 of the liquid diet that is a requirement from my surgeon before I receive my sleeve surgery on July 2, 2014 . I have been having headaches & I was wondering if any of y'all have experience this when y'all were doing the liquid diet?

Thanks y'all for the replies!!! I just google & read online that the headaches i'm experiencing could be that I'm not getting enough Water due to being dehydrated could possibly cause headaches..so today I'm going to really focus on getting my 64 oz of water down!!! I swear this liquid diet feels like it's going to be the death of me!!!! Prayers & Good luck to all of y'all from georgiagirl_1967

Hi Georgiagirl, welcome to an incredible journey! Best of luck and remember to take everything in stride! I was sleeved on 4/15 and I am down 70 lbs. what's amazing is the almost instant feeling of increased energy and well being. You'll find yourself wanting to do more and more! I will be thinking of you!! And btw, the surgery itself is nothing! Piece of cake so don't get nervous.

      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.
