Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I cooked last night for my family and ate with them, (my yummy Protein shake) I can't hide from them eating for the rest of my life. Last night was the big test and I passed with flying colors. I knew before that I was ready for surgery but now I know that I am mentally ready as well ????

Sleeved 1.5.15. Doing well for the most part. Minimal gas, a little fatigue. Able to tolerate everything in this stage so far. Haven't had a BM yet. Incision/staples very itchy. Water doesn't sit well on my stomach. Find out today that a compression/girdle makes it feel better.

Day before surgery and the anxiety is really kicking in....not to mention I feel like I'm starving. Clear liquid and full liquid make a difference. Hospital told me to call at 8am for a time to come in... I can't help but wonder why I do not have a scheduled time already. And I live an hour away. Strange!

I feel the same way. I have to wait for a call from the hospital the day before surgery, sometime between 2 & 4 pm. I live about that same time distance too. Guess that's how they do things. And I'm just hoping I'm early!

O.k. I got up to go to the bathroom so many times I loss count. I know my nerves were on the edge but the Clear Liquids was a bit much. I am up and ready for my 2 nd special shower. The hospital has special instructions for the night before and the morning of the surgery. Did anyone go on line to Bariatric Vitamins. They offered a FREE 3 months supply of vitamins and Calcium supplements. Print out the form and your doctor's office will complete it and fax it to the company. I just wanted to share this. I pray for the stay hand of the surgical team, the attentiveness of the anesthesiologist and the professionalism of the staff attending to me and all my January sleevers.

      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.
