Christian sleevers any the just had...



Recommended Posts

Wooooow......I have been on this site for a while and I just found this group. I too am a Christian and grew up believing that I should include God in every decision I make. I prayed for this and asked God if it's not for me give me a sign. Well since I started this journey everything has been smooth sailing. After finishing my requirements I was approved by my insurance the same day it was submitted. My surgery is set for December 10. I know that was nobody but God. I thank him for his constant presence in my life. I love that this forum exist especially for believers. God bless everyone in their journey ????????.

Amen I did the same ... I'm now almost 8 weeks out. The surgery is a battle itself.. I enjoy it some days and the others days could be better .. I keep God first and thank him everyday... God bless you as well and welcome too the club you won't regret it

Hi everyone. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I will be inviting God in that OR with me and praying that He guides the doctor and blesses me with an uncomplicated and speedy recovery. If you all would pray for me too, I would greatly appreciate it.

I pray that God blesses and keeps each of you.

Hi everyone, I hope it's not too late to join this thread.

I haven't had surgery yet. I meet with dietician and surgeon in a week.

I feel that surgery is a tool like everyone is saying.

But the Bible says to be moderate, to not be given to appetite..

If the sleeve helps me to be and obedient and disciplined daughter of God, then PRAISE the Lord!!!! Right?

God Bless,

Heidi

@@lachellove - thx for the prayers. I am 8 days out today. Today I am feeling much better. I had a couple of complication, but it was due to anesthesia, not the actual surgery. I have never done well with anesthesia. Really makes me nauseous, no matter what they give me to combat it. But I hope that is in the past and each day is better than the last.

      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.
