Made it to the post sleevers



Recommended Posts

Wow, made it to the other side. I am now a post sleever. Had surgery Monday. Honestly Monday was not a good day, it was because of the anesthesia, and that was my 3rd surgery. Never reacted like that. It was hard to wake up, but I did, pain not bad, nausea not bad. Just got home. Drinking my Protein shake and will drink more Water, sips of course. It has really helped reading this website. Thanks guys, any other August, or September sleevers, please feel free to ask any questions. I am one of those who never thought I would do this, still feels a little unreal.

Congrats! Sorry you had such a rough tiem with the anethesia. Sips is key. I am two weeks out and it seems like a dream and not reality at this point. I too never thought I would do this, the second or third day I was like WTH did you do. You idiot. I have to keep remembering why I did it. It is a tool. It has been to easy for me, It is like if someone would of brainwashed me years ago I wouldn't have had to go threw this. I quit smoking cold turkey as soon as I said I was going to do it. And haven't really struggled with wanting more food. No Taste and Texture YES!!!

Good Luck!

      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.
