Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I am sitting in a hotel room in Richmond waiting for 7:00 am to get here so I can check in at the hospital. I am nervous...because it is surgery. But, I feel like I am in competent, capable hands. I am a little extra nervous because my surgery is a revision from lap band to VSG. I understand there are increased risks, and I am just hoping that I remain healthy through this process.

Good luck to everyone going tomorrow!!

Update!

Surgery was 1-5-15

I'm down 56 pounds! I've been walking non stop, 2 weeks ago started an hour on the elliptical.

I'm am THRILLED with the results, I start back to work Monday the 2nd.

I've been a lil gaggy at times and I have a terrible habit of eating too fast. So I'm working on that. Eat too fast= vomit. Exercise is key.

How's the rest of jan Sleevers making out?!

Wow good for you!!! I am off soft foods as of March 5th, then I can technically eat whatever I want. But I'm staying with whats been working and staying down.

I am so so happy I did this. It's a big change but for once in the right direction!!!

      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.
