anyone getting sleeved in DECEMBER?



Recommended Posts

Last Thanksgiving as an overweight person. My surgery is Dec8th. 10 days away and it feels so unbelievable that this is for real is going to happen. Started my pre op high Protein, no sugar, very very low carb diet on Monday. It was really hard the first two days but yesterday seemed much easier. Probably had to do with getting the sugar cravings out of my system:)

My last holiday before surgery.... Sleeved in 5 days! I'm glad I get to enjoy TG not for the food but to be pain free lol and just enjoy the day.

I'm at the park playing with my grand daughter. It's 81 degrees out and we've been bike riding now playing.

I am feeling blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! Guess who's signing up for her first half marathon in June?! Is that a little too optimistic?

I am new to the site but it is SO exciting to see so many people getting sleeved in December! I just got my surgery date, Dec. 17th, and my pre-op appointment and diet start Tuesday. I am super excited, ecstatic, pumped and anxious to leave behind the unhealthy me and start 2015 the right way. I am extremely thankful for support groups such as this as we begin our life changing journeys.

Wonderful news on your date! Mine is Dec. 3. I only have one day of a liquid diet to do. I'm so glad about that.

I'm feeling all the things that you are.

Can't wait to be on the other side.

Mentally and physically I feel completely ready for this new phase in my life. I am over being a slave to food. Today was my pre-op appointment and my last meeting with the nutritionist until the 17 when it is time for surgery. The thing is my pre-op diet starts tomorrow and I had this uncontrollable urge to binge on food I won't eat again. Now I feel gross and as if I am starting out a failure because I am not in the right mindset. I know the sleeve is just s tool but I pray it's the tool I need until I work out all the psychological stuff.

On my way to the hospital for my sleeve! Today has finally arrived.... I'm nervous, excited, a little scared even. I have complete confidence that God is going to bring me thru this safely. Praise be to him.

Congrats, steadfast! I'm staying a second night b/c they want to watch over some high pulse/blood pressure stuff, although the pulse has already come back down. Do you have someone at home helping you?

      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.
