Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else been keeping an online log/blog? I put in my last pre-surgery entry in mine, so I feel like I'm actually ready for it (4am wakeup, 7:30am tomorrow - Tuesday - morning).

Wanna waste some time hearing someone else whining about their WLS surgery? Feel free to read through mine:

If you've got one, post it here so I can commiserate!

I have to be there at 8a. My surgery was cancelled twice due to my low potassium levels. I can't believe it's finally going to happen tomorrow.

Oh man. I keep coughing a little and it's awful. Can't fathom hiccups. Hope they stopped

Surgery went really well yesterday. My doctor said it was his smoothest case all day. Pain is 3-4. I'm allergic to narcotic pain meds so just doing Tylenol from the start. It'd probably be 0-1 with pain medicine. Worst part is how sore and dry throat was/is, causing some coughing. Otherwise doing well. Hardly slept. I can never sleep in hospital.

Just woke up - less than 9 hours to surgery. See you on the other side.

Good luck today!

Hi @@retrieverguy, my surgery is tomorrow and I'm on the liquid diet as well. What is Tia Soup and where can I get some? This chicken broth is killing me! Thanks!

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?

      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.
