December 10th Sleever here



Recommended Posts

Very, Very, excited here after a long-haul getting the pre approval from the pesky insurance companies. The checklist of sleep studies, CPAPs, meeting with dieticians, and phycologist is finally complete and I can focus on on my upcoming surgery on Dec 10th. I haven't been put on a liquid diet at all, just a low calorie diet. I think that will change on my Dec 1st appointment. Good luck to all the December sleevers.

couldn't find the spell checker...

Peace my friends!

Congrats brianscoob! You've definitely come a long way for sure. I'm scheduled on the same day as well. I totally have butterflies in my stomach everyday. Yesterday when I went to my pre-op appt. and received my check-in time. Kinda felt like time stopped for a second. Wow this is really happening! Blessed it only took me 1 month. From seminar to approval. Good luck to all of us and our new lives ????

This is going to be an epic day Shari71! My nerves aren't getting to me yet but as time gets closer the nerves will most likely pick up. Butterlies are pretty common, see if your Dr can give you something for anxiety on surgery day. I'm not sure how I'm going to tackle Thanksgiving yet, turkey, gravy are probably okay and I'm going to try to stay away from the starches, bread, and stuffing. Smart choices need to be amsde tomorrow. Good luck Shari71.

      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.
