Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was becoming very nervous about this whole thing, I have insurance approval and will get my date at my pre-op visit this Friday. Anyway . . . the nerves were gaining on me until I was in Stage the other day and I started looking at all the cute clothes. Normally, I would feel sad because I can't fit in them. Instead the nerves backed off and I was really happy browsing through these clothes that I will be able to wear soon enough!!!

OMG...I thought I was the only one bagging up old clothes. I started sorting clothes and getting rid of the big stuff I really don't like. My Support Group, recommended by my doctor has a clothes exchange for every stage. I am funny about buying my own stuff but can't wait to start donating. You should see if your Support Group has something like that, so you can donate to others going through this process.

This liquid diet is no joke...it is hard. I've got a lot of willpower though and I know I can

do it. It is just hard.

I'm also weening off of caffeine for the next 2 weeks...now that's no joke!

Well tomorrow I start my FOUR week liquid diet consisting of boost diabetic and good old fashioned Water.

It's going to be a tough 4 weeks, but I have been waiting over 2 years for this! I am excited and scared. It's finally happening and I want it all to turn out and be as stress free as possible.

Do you guys have good support at home?

Sheena :-)

      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.
