Nervous! Sleeve surgery end of June



Recommended Posts

Scheduled my surgery for the end of the month. I am a single mother of 3, youngest is 16. He is going to visit his dad for a month. I am flying down on the 25th for surgery. I am not telling anyone. Hopefully I don't die in the table because no one will know where I am lol.

I just received my sleeve on June 8th in TJ, Mexico. My Dr. was Elias Ortiz and I could not have had a better experience! I also went by myself although I was not shy about telling those close to me where I went! I drove from Phoenix to the Mexico border at San Diego.My organization is A Lighter Me and every aspect of the trip was amazing. I stayed the first, and fourth and fifth nights at the Grand Hotel which was stunningly beautiful and has a floor dedicated to medical patients with an on-call nurse. The hospital was clean and modern and the staff all spoke wonderful English. Relax, this will be a combination life saving miracle, adventure and vacation all in one! Good luck and enjoy! By the way, I had no problems driving 6 hours home on the fouth day after surgery!

      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.
