September 10 sleeves



Recommended Posts

I thought I had to be at hospital early both of you beat me. Then 6am is good. Jcp Sorry you have to take a taxi. I'm almost the same. My grandson lives with me but he can't drive my car it's manual transmission. So I'm have to figure out with a friend (her car needs a tire) to get me to hospital which is not fair from where I live. Otherwise taxi for me. Good luck to all of us on September 10.

Taxi will work. I haven't been in one in years! Only thing I don't like is I am supposed to use that special soap night before and that morning. Then I'll go get in a taxi. Ugh!!

My surgery is September 10th as well. I am a revision from the lap band. It is strange to me as to how nervous I am. I am thankful for this thread.

Operation is in less than 48 hours!!! I have been too busy to think about it. Huge party at our house yesterday. It was a baby shower/bbq. lots of friends and family in attendance. I stuck to the meal plan pretty good. no cupcakes for me! or beer!!! At the end we had a ton of leftover food and I was filling up boxes and bags for people to take all the unhealthy foods like chips and dips. tomorrow it an all day liquid diet. wonder what my last meal will be before I can't eat solids for the next few weeks? Probably leftover salmon... yum.

Last day at work today (for next 2 weeks). Keeping everything private. lots to do.

take care all of you!

Took my shower with that special soap. Guess what... No hot water! Oh well, I was so tired I didn't care. Taxi is picking me up at 5. Surgery supposedly at 7:30. I sure hope this is the right thing to do. Just too tired to be psyched. Looking forward to those Don't Give A Crap meds though! God bless you all and check in when you can! Sweet dreams!

      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.
