And Arkansas or Oklahoma sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery in late January. I'm looking to find some friends or mentors. If you're having surgery soon and would like someone to chat with let me know! I am not telling many people in my life that I am having this done so it would be nice to have some friendly support from people who understand :)

I had surgery Dec 15, I feel great. had a few issues with feeling sick after eating. But it don't last long. Which surgery are you doing I had the gastric bypass. Best decision I ever made. Yes it is painful but the most pain I had was right after. Once u start moving around and walking it gets better.

I have told my close friends, and my husband's family, but not my mother, aunts, or siblings. I am the only "plus size" person among my blood relations, and they just don't get it.

Had my sleeve done Dec 5th @ National Perk Medical Center in Hot Springs by Dr. JJ Tucker. So far all is good and Im down 7 lbs in five days. The road is long with many a winding turn but each of us have a goal and need to set our minds on that road to success.

Good Luck all!!!

You are doing this for YOU not them so just focus on yourself and all will be fine for you. They will change their minds after they see how much healthier you become.

I am in Claremore OK

I go to my first appointment in a few weeks. But I'm in Oklahoma! Not many people in my life are very supportive of this choice so I can kind of relate.

      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.
