May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Woo-hoo!!! I'm on the 13th with Less of Jess and Katress27!!! :-)

I'm self pay, so the process has been fairly easy for me. (Except for writing out the checks, LOL) I still need to do a barium swallow, EKG, and some labs, but that's it.

I'm in the same BMI group as Rocky1, and our pre-op diets sound very similar, as well. I have four days of Protein shakes, and one day of Clear liquids.

Looks like my date will be switched from April to May! My doctor hasn't faxed my information to my surgeon to put in for insurance!!

Is there any secret Facebook groups for us May sleevers?

@@CandyCrushVSG I don't know of a may sleevers group as of yet. We could make one, I guess! I'm on VSG Support Group on Facebook, everyone on there has been awesome so far.

How are everyone's countdowns going? I picked up the last of my Protein shake and Vitamin supplies yesterday. Pre-admission appt in 3 weeks, liquid diet starting in 4 weeks, surgery in 41 days and counting!! :lol: :rolleyes: :blink: :P

So excited to see so many new May sleeves since we're down to our last month. I was MIA for two wks but I'm back and stayed on track with my eating. Definitely need to push myself to exercise more before surgery.

      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.
