December sleevers



Recommended Posts

Looking for a buddy to connect with. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 12/15. My pre op diet is giving me head aches. I'm so hungry. I'm started to feel discouraged and thinking maybe I should cancel. I'm nervous and scared.

You can do this! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I am nervous too! I've had thoughts like..."maybe I should just be fat and happy"...but I know myself and I am not happy and feel like crap all the time! We will be so happy when we look back on our journey and reach our goals! Good luck to you!!

My surgery is the 16th so we can stay in touch if you want! I'm nervous too but when I need reassurance I just take a selfie and I'm ready.

Thanks everyone. I needed the encouragement. Taking a selfie is not a bad idea. That will keep me going! It's nice to know I have others to talk to.

So glad I found this post. Mine is 12/21 so I'm only on day 3 of the pre-op diet. All the sweet shakes are rough. I craved salt today.

Definitely nervous, like you, about being able to handle it all after the fact but am motivated by the incredible change for the future that lies ahead. (wow that sounded super cheesy).

I am down to keep in touch if you are!

My Sleeve was 12/15 as well. I'm happy to buddy with anyone! So far I'm the only person I know that has ever done a sleeve so it's not easy to find anyone to relate.

I'm in Kansas.

I went with Soup I like (but stuck with the light variety) cream of potato, which I didn't need to blend but veggie and bean Soup mostly. The dietician at the Drs office said I could eat most any soup that had been blended and it's worked great so far.

Today was the first day I got to eat smoshy foods, so I had a scrambled egg this morning. I don't think I've ever been so happy to eat an egg.

      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.
