JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP



Recommended Posts

Okay guys, I'm staring to panic. Before surgery my greatest fear was that it wouldn't work. I am 4 days post op and still weigh the same as when I went in for the surgery. In fact I came out of hospital pound or two up. Not looking for drastic loss, but some kind of downward trend would be welcome. Even a few ounces.

DONT Panic. You are still swollen from surgery. Wait a week.

Thanks AnnieRichards. My experience had been so easy compared to others that I don't really feel like anything has been done except the liquid diet is no longer debilitating like it was pre op

So far so good-I'm still only on Protein shakes, Water, and broth. Yesterday I got 45 gms of Protein in and about 50 ounces of Water. I am not moving on to any more liquids until I get my protein at 60 and liquids at 64.

How is everyone else doing with the protein?

I'm 3 days post-op.

July 24th here! I had my last meal out at a restaurant tonight before I start my pre-op diet, so weird to know I won't eat this much ever again.

That's my date too!

Mine's the 22nd. I did the same thing I had a food funerals for my favorites. Like bacon. Fried chicken etc. I have finished 1st week of pre-op diet. Only thing I can say is you really miss chewing which is good I guess because after surgery I will have to chew everything a lot!!!!

Stay away from those damn evil scales! Don't worry about it at all. My Dr told me they pump us full of liquids and I could be 10 pounds heavier. It will come. I know it's been a little over a week for me, and the swelling still is t gone all the way. You will be fine, just stick to the program. :)

I need to do better on water and protein. Been experimenting with different shakes. Need to get more water. Loving the broth and Popsicles for sure.

      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.
