Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I had my first appointment today! It's far from where you all are now, but it's the start for me. I also have my psych eval scheduled and my pre surgery appointment with my nutritionist set! I'm excited! Just gotta wait the 6 months now!

Doing well so far. Feels like a stomach cramp. The surgical team just inspected my sutures and said they looked good.

Feeling great to be looking forward to recovery rather than surgery!

Just got home. Everything seemed to take just a little longer than expected. Arrived at hospital at 11:30 for 2:15 surgery, but I didn't have surgery until after 5 so there were several hours of nerve-wracking waiting. Today I was supposed to be discharged between 1-2 but they didn't get all their ducks in a row until after 6....more sitting around waiting. I have a little soreness but nothing too terrible. Now, I am enjoying my Premier Protein shake, first non-clear liquid food I've had in 5 days....its so good! LOL.

Pain is almost non existent this morning. I have been walking six times a day so far and it seems to have helped greatly. How are you doing?

I have been up walking. It really helps with the gas. No pain so far..I just got my morphine so I'm going night night...I have done well today

I am on Monday as well....its going to be a long 5 days! I'm nervous but very anxious to get this part over with. All my pre-op stuff went well. They said I am "very healthy" and should come through this just fine. I thought "sure I'm healthy except for the whole morbid obesity thing!"

EXACTLY!

I am home. I did great just wanted to rest in my own bed. No real pain just gas. Walking does help move it out though.

      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.
