Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

I wish someone would start a fb for September sleevers. Need lots of support. Tried to bond with some from my Drs office Thursday, but none were September sleevers

I'd be happy to start a FB group. That's a GREAT IDEA!! Let me put it together and I will let you know when it's up! Give me a bit, I have to take my puppy to the dog park! He's worse than a 5 year old right now! LOL
ok, I created the group, I need to add a picture etc., if you would like to be invited please either post your email here (if you are ok with it, or please send me a message and I will send you an invite via email! :D

@Notforthefaint....your family history story really hit home with me. My mom has been a yo yo dieter her whole life but I am way bigger than she ever has been. I'm 5'8" and 290 w BMI 44. My dad died of massive sudden heart attack at age of 43 just from mowing the yard! He was 320 pounds at that time! I'm 46 (tomorrow) so I've already outlived him by 3 years. I found out in February I have mild case of type 2 diabetes and borderline high cholesterol and that's a real wake up call! My son just turned 20 but he is my motivation and biggest fan. My hubby has never had a weight problem and while he does support my decision to do this, he doesn't "get" why it has to be and why I can't lose on my own. Anyway I am glad to be making some friends on this site! We all have so much in common! Getting close for me and I'm so excited!

Update: In the middle of trying to figure out when I can schedule, working around my work schedule and our vacation plans, and not hearing back from the surgery scheduler....my husband has now been hospitalized for 2 weeks. We are 500 miles from home. He has had 4 procedures, and now will have another surgery on Wednesday. The scheduler FINALLY called 2 days ago, (a month after approval), and I still have no idea when I can schedule. If my husband is released next week, he still won't be able to drive for probably a month. He will be ok, but this is a recurrence of something he fought for 3 years that we thought was over a year ago.

I feel incredibly selfish saying this, but I am considering going with a friend while my husband is recovering. I have worked so hard to get here....and I spent years taking care of him. I need to take care of me.

Your husband should definitely understand. Do this for yourself

My sleep study was last night, interesting experience. My tech didn't wake me up to put on a cpap, but that doesn't mean I don't have sleep apnea. Won't know for 3-4 days, hopefully sooner. I may have to come back for a second study, but sleep with a cpap.

Just had the Unjury chicken broth for lunch. Good stuff. Liked the unjury, ordered the unflavored. Also ordered another kind that's cake batter flavored, will report when I try.

EDG is no big deal. I had one about a year ago.

I had my EGD last Thursday and I was nervous because I really have never had anything done under sedation. It was piece of cake. Walked out in 2 hours feeling perfectly normal. Had lunch w my mom right after leaving surgery center. Not even a sore throat.

      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.
