May 28 Sleevers - Ready, Set, Go



Recommended Posts

Many of us being sleeved on 5/28 will be on our liquids tomorrow. Some of you may have already started. It's almost time to get a fresh start.

How are you all doing? I am feeling anxious as I'd just like to get the surgery over with so I can deal with the aftermath. I'm not nervous about the procedure itself, but the anticipation is driving me bonkers.

Clear Liquids today. Surgery tomorrow. I didn't think this day would ever get here. Not really sure how I feel. I know I am just ready to get this over with and start my next chapter. Ugh! Why does insurance make us wait so long?

I'm up tomorrow too! Crazy mix of nervous excitement! Can't wait to be on the sleeved side and start dealing with the reality rather than worrying about the unknown! Good luck everyone...we've got this!

I have to report to the hospital at 0830 and surgery is at 1030. I'm in the SF area.

What time will you all be headed in for your sleeve?

I'm 2 weeks out today and get to start puree, so exciting! Had a weetabix for Breakfast, yumm!

I'm 13lb down since surgery, 25lb from starting pre op. Feeling great and so far so good! Still a little tender in my tummy but getting better every day.

Hope everyone else is doing great too!

      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.
