January 2015 Sleevers! ????????



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Im still awaiting my exact day but it will be in January. Hoping the end of it, as Im still so nervous and scared.

Im in England, UK so things here a bit different. No medical insurance but the Nhs (national health service)

Its been a year since I was referred by my physician. Since that time I was put on a diet programme and have lost 60lbs.

Im turning 29 on dec 18th.

My highest weight 322 lbs

My current weight 246 lbs

Hoping to lose a bit more before January so need to be strict over christmas.

Going home to visit family in Wales UK and they tend to be feeders!.. So Im not hopeful on a loss.

I have two young boys 2 and 6 and leaving them while in hospital and the surgery risk itself is terrifying me! Purely because of my boys.

My husband is a general practitioner and great at his job, but seriously lacks on the home skills and kids department.

Keep thinking, how will he cope! How will the kids cope!

Because of this feeling I can not get excited about this life changing surgery that most of you are feeling.

I need encouragement that everything will be ok. Im not planning on telling my family who live very far away.

Their worrying and negativity will make me cancel everything!

Your husband will cope, UR kids will cope!!

A friend of mine had the sleeve Monday August 11th and visited us at work and looked GREAT by Friday August 15th!!

She had 3 rough days but she said it wasnt as bad as she thought.

So everyone will survive and U will be on a way to a healthier more active and happier YOU!!

Don't give up! I'm here anytime!!

Stay strong! ????

      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.
