Any November Sleevers for 2014 need surgery buddys?



Recommended Posts

Im a Kaiser peep, using the South Sac location. My surgery date was changed from 10/2 to 11/6 due some health issues. But Im clear to go now and just have one last dr appointment for my post op diet class. Is anyone else in November or have kaiser? I had lots of peeps on my October list but now I have a new date and would love to have some others to follow along with and share our journeys.. :rolleyes:

I just had my EGD a couple days ago. Seen my primary dr today and will see my surgeon on 10/16. All requirments have been completed and hoping to have my surgery date in early Nov. A few concerns about infections since I do not have a spleen but I have faith that all will be fine. So excited to get things going on this journey.

My surgery is scheduled for Nov 10th. I am in North Carolina. Been doing my research and talking to people who have sleeved before me. A friend of mine had hers 2 weeks ago, so I have been getting much info from her. She has been great.

      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.
