25, Long Island, sleeve on 8/24/15



Recommended Posts

So this Monday I will be beginning my 2 week liquid diet and I'm starting to get really nervous. I don't know how I'm gonna handle not eating that long. Also I am an x-Ray tech and only have a week off from it. How did everyone feel 1 week post-op? I could also really use a buddy to talk about the journey with who actually understands what it's like!

I was sleeved on July 29th. I feel great. I'm so ready to go back to work. However I work in customer care so I sit a lot. 1 week might not be enough for a person that move around a lot because you still have achy moments! Good luck with your surgery I'm in NJ by the way.

I'm still pre-op. Going in on Monday 8/10 for surgery. I'm just curious where on Long Island and what surgeon. I'm in Patchogue and I'm with Dr Arif Ahmad in Port Jefferson.

Honestly I think it depends on your insurance. Once I was done with the pre stuff and it was summitted I was approved within a week, but I have ghi and they said they are really fast. Hope that helps and good luck! I am about 8 weeks out and down 40 pounds :)

      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.
