Any November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Good Morning!

My name is Tammy- I live in the greater Orlando area in Florida. My Gastric sleeve was done on 11/7- so I am 4 days post op.

Starting weight was 220- when I got home I weighed 225- now I know IV fluids contributed to that.

I was scheduled to stay in the hospital 1 night and had to stay 2 d/t uncontrolled nausea. I seemed to shake that Saturday morning and came home.

Today- day 4- I am heading to Sam's Club with my Mom- and to Macy's. Just going to try to get in some steps- and get moving.

I am happy to be here- and expect that I will need some support as this journey continues

My surgery is tomorrow morning too. Getting psyched, and all of you have really helped to keep my spirits up, my confusion tamped down, and my eyes on the prize.

I was on a liquid diet for 10 days, and today it is just Clear Liquids. It hasn't been too bad... lost around 10 pounds, which makes this a lot more worthwhile. The second day of the liquid fast was by far the hardest, but by the third my body just gave up, I think, and adjusted.

Looking forward to the new, streamlined me!

Surgury date 18th. And post-200317-14157315949524_thumb.jpg away from the moment I check in to the hospital. The last 6 days of my pre op diet have been down and up. The first for days sucked really bad! But since then my biggest system is just being sleepy. Although I have also had a lot more energy at the same time.. It's interesting to say the least.

Regardless I am really ready and so excited to be getting closer! :)

      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.
