I can't believe it's tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

After 7 months of meeting insurance requirements and what seemed like a thousand appointments, I'm getting sleeved tomorrow! I'm so overwhelmed with so many different emotions. I'm trying to get my hospital bag put together now (hope I don't forget anything). I just really can't wait to be on the other side.

I was in your shoes 1 year ago almost to the day. I was very nervous and partly due this being my first surgery and all the other typical reasons.

Although I had a few bumps in the road this has turned out to be the best decision I ever made.

Good luck and start getting excited about the great changes coming soon.

Mine is tomorrow also!! I'm nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Luckily my arrival time is 7am so I won't be a nervous wreck all day tomorrow :)

Best of luck!!!

This was my mantra after surgery:

Walk, walk, walk. Sip, sip sip.

Good luck and good healing!

Surgery went well! Yesterday was pretty rough - had lots of pain and cramping. No complications though, just starting to sip on a Protein Shake and still in the hospital. Odds are good I'll be going home today! I'm so relieved for it to finally be over! Now its time to recover and get healthy!!!

      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.
