Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I am new here. I found this app as I was looking for apps that would joe with support after my gastric sleeve procedure.

I am having sleeve surgery done at 130 on July 22nd. I am SO excited, but nervous

I'm really nervous about the week long liquid fast.

Any tips or ideas to get through that easier would be so appreciated!

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

I am scheduled for RNY on July 18th. At this point I'm not nervous, but I'm sure it will come! I do not have to do the liquid diet, thankfully. I say my doctor Thursday for my H&P and he asked I lose 2 pounds before surgery. I am sticking to my diet and am determined not to cheat!

Good luck with your surgery!! :)

Best of luck to you all. My date is July 24th. I'm really scared, but luckily, my Mother said she would go with me. At 1st I was going alone. I'm so grateful to my Mom. I start the liquid diet on Thur. I hope I can do it successfully. I'm having a problem with not drinking when I eat. I'm so use to washing it down, especially when it gets stuck. I don't eat on a regular schedule, so Its hard to get my drink in 30 min before. I'm going to have to work really hard on this one. I've been so emotional lately, which is not like me at all. I've been crying. The # of times I've cried in the last 10 yrs. you can count on one hand. I feel like something is wrong with me. I don't feel comfortable with this lack of emotional control. Even though I felt like a mutant for not being able to cry, I felt like that was normal and this isn't. I was thinking of going to the Dr., but when I go, nothing really happens. I got something from my insurance company stating that I need to lose weight due to Metabolic Syndrome, yet they won't pay for weight loss surgery, so Aetna, thanks for nothing. I hate our insurance. It is so terrible. The only reason I keep it is for a catastrophy. Thanks for listening. Sorry I am so emotional. I really don't know why I am and I hope its a phase or something.

      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.
