Recommended Posts

Just want to meet some people who are share the same faith as me and are going through the process or already have gotten their sleeves. Without Jesus idk where I would be today and I know he will bless my surgery to be complications free. My faith is in Christ.

@Aliyah14. Hi :) I'm definitely Christian & was sleeved in December. I've lost 100+ pounds and owe it all to Jesus! BTW, while folks may not make their religious preferences known...One can get a pretty good idea where someone is spiritually by the consistent tone of their posts and the negativity/chaos that follows. Be mindful & guarded as negativity is contagious. Peace & Blessings on your journey!

I have a long way to go and haven't got started yet waiting on the financials so keep me in your prayers I'm tired of my life being put on hold it seems like due to my weight and they way people act towards me now since I'm not thin. God bless you for responding just needed to hear that. Thank you so much pray for me!

I'm not a sleever but I'm definitely a Christian who believes that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could think or ask. I'm scheduled to have Bypass on May 27th and am so thankful that Jesus has kept me throughout this process. I know He'll be with me during surgery and after. I'm praying for your peace and strength through this process ????

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus is the Divine Bariatric Physician. He will never leave us or forsake us. I start my preop diet tomorrow.

I am a licensed minister of the Gospel, I am being sleeved next week. I am so blessed and thankful that God has made a way and path for me to begin getting my temple back in order! My goal to give him glory is to speak everywhere in regards to taking care of our bodies and knowing why we got to where we are! This is the beginning, the end, & and the process through him which gives us life back! Embrace it girl and run with it!!

I was sleeved 6/15, down 77 pounds. I was lucky to only feel bad at the hospital and after I came home was all good. I love that the new me can speak up now and not stay hidden in the shadows, as my hubby is trying out for a new preaching position after we took sometime off when our oldest daughter had a baby at 17. She and baby are doing good and just moved out around the time of my surgery. Now it is time to get busy being God's hands and feet again which is much easier being lighter!!

God bless each one of you and I pray your roller coaster of a ride goes as smoothly as possible!!!

      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.
