Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

I just saw my surgeon on Friday... I scheduled all of my weight management classes (June, July, August) and I hope to scheduled for September!

Is this surreal to anyone else?

I also just seen my surgeon on Friday and have the rest of mine scheduled, July and August, I went to Junes same day I met with surgeon, how cool is that, we could possibly be scheduled for surgery around the same time as well

It was when I started in April. But seems so far away now for some reason. April 1st was the first of 6 month appointments and I am getting impatient. I know I'm half way there, but hate the wait. I also have to not start losing weight either because of a low bmi. But I don't lose easily. Lol

That is awesome! It's very surreal! I called to make my psych eval and was able to get an appointment tomorrow!!

Now if this tropical storm will just cooperate and stay away from Houston I will be excited!

I should go in Sept as well. I have BC/BS with no supervised diet window or weight loss required prior to surgery. I do have some work and family obligations though so Sept made the most sense with back to school and a big work commit out of the way. My doctor didn't think the timeframe would be a problem.

I can't even seem to wait until next Tuesday, I don't know how I am going to survive till September! hahahah!

What are you guys doing to prepare?

Stocking up on anything?

Every time I am at the store I pick up broth or a pack of Jello. I haven't gotten into any serious preparations yet.

Surreal is a good choice of words to describe it all.

Slow motion.

Just going to support meetings and a follow up at the end of the month. I'm just being asked to show consistency with what I'm doing to prove that I'm ready. I keep a food diary on myfitnesspal (MFP) and an exercise log on mapmywalk that I have to bring in this time. I haven't given much headspace to surgery yet. I'm just trying to take my time and focus on the work I have to do. Right now, I'm using MFP to teach myself how to eat - what foods I like, how much I can eat, how many calories, carbs, Protein, etc. everything has and how to stay within a daily calorie limit. I plan on using MFP long after surgery to help me stay on track.

I have not purchased any food yet... But I did buy a huge pack of bathroom size Dixie cups... I saw on Pinterest that they are a great way to measure 3oz. I thought it was a brilliant idea!

I am going to do your broth and Jello idea on my next grocery store round

September will be here before we know it!

I have been trying Protein Drinks too. And Protein bars too. Substituting for Breakfast. I didn't usually eat breakfast before. I've learned the tastiest drinks have 13g of sugar which isn't good too. Lol

I have tried boost high Protein, special k, and muscle milk. Muscle milk will be the winner because barely had sugar. Also bought a mix, but even in the blender, tasted awful.

I started doing Protein Shakes for breakfast yesterday and I am liking what I got so far. I also made my pysch eval and mine is going to be 3 hours. Is that normal? Got my Nut appt. next month, my 2nd weight mgt. supervision appt. is on the 26th and then I have 2 more left. Still need to do my sleep apnea study but things seem to be moving along :) I so hope I get approved after all of this!!

      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.
