Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I've read this entire thread and lots of great advice and info! I'm hopeful for a September date, but more likely to be in October. I am self-pay in Michigan and my journey will really get its "kick-start" September 3 when I meet with my surgeon, go to my first NUT class, and go to the required "free info seminar" (SMH, I've already been to 3 at 2 diff docs offices and they're all the same!) I've been on the "lets make this happen" roller coaster for 4 years and I just hope it all comes together in September. Now, waiting with nothing to do to make this happen faster is so hard. I believe knowledge is power, and right now I'm waiting to hear what all I'll have to do IF I'm approved and it's killing me!

Welcome!!! There is a lot of info out there!! We also have a very active Facebook group 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.
