Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm approved and scheduled for November 3rd! I don't think reality of it has set in yet , I planned soooo much and worried so much about getting approval now that I am I feel like I haven't learned enough and a whole new fear/excitement has sets in. I'm ready for the surgery to be over and the weight to come off!

I feel the same way Elode. I did so much research in the beginning, but now I feel like I learned nothing and I am totally unprepared.

I do however have several lists going...my "before" list my "after" list...my pre op diet lists, my post op diet list...a few puree food recipes I found around here.

I'm very nervous but extremely excited at the same time.

Yay for us.

I'm using a countdown app too. Mine was free on iPhone. It's called T zero.

November 4th can't get here soon enough

What is the name of that app? I'd like to have a countdown on my phone

as well.

I FINALLY got my surgery date. November 13th. YES! YES!!!! I'm sooooo excited about this leg of my journey. I'm not a fool to think it will always be candy and Rainbows but I know it will be worth it all. With any major changes there will be an adjustment or transition time but anything worth having is worth transitioning for!!

Love the candy and rainbows... I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I heard that's the hardest part. I think the first two weeks will be difficult adjusting my habits.

Best of luck!

It's called final countdown. It was just a freebie in the android market. I can't wait to see single digits!!!

There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with your surgery both now and in the latter stages. You have to believe you are doing the right thing for you. I bet you have tried other ways to lose the weight like all of us have and were not successful. This has to be something you are doing for you.

Well said. :)

      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.
