mom is having the sleeve tomorrow as well



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done may 30 and she saw how successful I've been so far, she's also overweight and my dad kept on telling her it would be a great idea for her to do it as well and she agreed. She just wanted to see on me how did it go the first month. so now its her turn. SHES HAVING IT TOMORROW..

She asked me if I can please ask all of you what are some recommendations you give her? Since many of you are around her age, (I'm only 20 years so the process is way different)

Also a list of things she must have in the hospital. She's going to be in the hospital 2 nights and 3 days.

Thank you all for your support!!!

The only thing i need in hospital was toothbrush and paste, hair brush. I slept in hospital gown much easier with IV. Used another backwards for robe when I did my walking. I also had my Ipad and phone. I had bought all this stuff that I never used. Pj, Shampoo etc. i did bring slippers but they give you those socks which work just fine. Chad a book never read it. Basically I either slept, walked or watched TV. I would say keep what u bring to a bare minimium.

Hope this helped.

Good luck to your mom. I only used my toothbrush, hair brush and deodorant. Had my phone as well. Comfy clothes to go home in.

Chapstick was my favorite possession next to my iPad. I had my favorite little egg shaped Chapstick. That stuff is the best.

.... Never mind. I just realized this question was from yesterday.

      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.
