Kentucky Sleevers -- Georgetown Bariatrics



Recommended Posts

In a matter of hours I will finally be joining the ranks of the Sleevers and taking my seat on the losers bench.

It has been a long journey to get this far, but in the process I have learned a lot, and am at peace with my decision. Two years ago I had pretty much lost hope and couldn't imagine being able to do something as simple as kicking the Diet Coke habit.

I wanted to thank everyone on this board to helping me to get this far. I am eager to come back at the beginning of my new life.

Wish me luck.

Hoping your feeling OK.

I have had a great recovery. I couldn't be happier. My major challenge is getting in my fluids. That has been the biggest challenge so far.

Today was the first day I have done a significant amount of exercise. We finally opened the pool and I was able to swim for the first time since surgery,

It's going to be a great summer.

      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.
