December Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I'm feeling really good about that date. I basically was allowed to hand pick my date! I wanted to feel good enough to enjoy Christmas Day and it will allow me to have three weeks off yet only use five sick days (work in the schools).

Where are you located @@DaisyAmy? I'm located in Tennessee. I selected my date as well. My surgeon only does the procedure on Mon and Tues. I considered my time off as well. I do not work in the school system but we have scheduled holidays and floating holidays during that time so I should use around 8 days of my vacation so I will be off work until the beginning of the year.

I was in Michigan two weeks ago (Ann Arbor). I wish you the best and let's stay in touch my sleeve sister!

Ditto, @@Cutepretty1! It'll be nice to have someone to go through this "together". We were in TN this summer -Gatlinburg area. I have a friend who lives in Chattanooga. Love Nashville. My dad's side of the family was from the Culleoka area. I have a fondness for TN!

I just received my surgery date - my VSG will be December 8th, 2015. I was approved by insurance last week. I hope these 8 weeks go by quickly!

While I'd love to have surgery tomorrow, I am grateful to have it done in December so I can start 2016 off with a BANG.

I am scheduled for December 9th, which is three days after finals for me. I'm excited and nervous at the same time...but like fatcinderellasball, I think it will be great to start the new year off with a bang!

      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.
