Getting Sleeved Tomorrow 7/20!



Recommended Posts

Any advice for clear liquid diet for day before surgery? Some I read coffee with no cream is ok, others don't say. So far I've had one Earl Grey tea and it's noon. Not too hungry but will try sugar free Jello or clear broth later tonight. My girlfriend is doing a juice cleanse today to support me. I did the same yesterday since doc does not allow juice cleanse the day before. Only Clear Liquids and diluted juice. I check into hospital 5:30am Monday! Wish me luck!post-248691-14373320114932_thumb.jpg

Good luck, I am right behind you (Tuesday 7/21 at 10am). Three products I have grown to depend on over the last 9 days of my pre-op diet are; powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth Flavored Protein mixed into vegetable broth and seasoned to taste (don't heat to hot it will get grainy), Syntrax Trophix vanilla Protein powder mixed thoroughly (I use a plug in hand blender) into luke warm Decaf coffee black then I ice it down, Syntrax Crystal Sky Protein Powder 1 scoop mixed with 16 oz. of Smart Water and chilled it's my fake blue Gatorade

The Ice coffee starts my day I use 2 scoops for a total of 46 grams of Protein I usually mix in 20-24 ounces of coffee so it's a big batch that I go at through out my morning the Trophix powder is not just whey and is designed for "sustained release"

The chicken Soup base powder concoction yields another 20 grams

The replacement Gatorade gives me 23 grams

I plan on counting on these same products post-op

Again Good Luck

Thanks Kate

I am excited this isn't my first rodeo with weighing counting and keeping track of my nutrition.

Like many of us I tried and had occasional success (70 lbs. one time 30 & 40 a bunch of times) and then something happens and all the old tapes start to roll

I had my last visit w/ the Doc and he called it a tool I said it's more like a gun to my head. A bit much but this is what I need. I am dealing with the hunger by thinking of food strategies that are going to give me what I need in small portions and still taste good enough to serve the whole family. I am excited by the work ahead of me, and grateful for the support of others. I am sweating sweet onions with 2 Tbs. of xtra virgin olive oil a sprinkle of Montreal steak seasoning and a good slosh of Worcestershire Sauce into that I will dump a whole box of low salt beef broth strain it and something close to onion Soup.< /p>

Thanks again

Jay

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
