Soon to be sleeved in Ohio!



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

My name is Ciara and I am getting sleeved on June 4, 2015. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I plan to start my liquid diet a week early which means I will be starting it this weekend! AHH ???? If you have any suggestions for me about what to buy, what to bring to the hospital that would be great. On my pre-op liquid diet I am allowed to have Protein shakes and one small meal with a cooked vegetable at dinner. The day before only Clear liquids. I am going to try my hardest to get through this phase with prayer..I need this second chance at life.

If you are in Ohio feel free to message me! Maybe we can all have a meet up one day. Also feel free to follow my journey on IG @soon2bsleevedqt.

Good luck on your journey!

I have no regrets. I was scared....for no reason. I haven't ever had surgery before.

      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.
