I did it! Sleeved December 21, 2015



Recommended Posts

HW 254 SW 248 CW 233 GW 140 Ht. 5'5". I have been taken off all diabetes medication. I have also had the doses lowered on MS medications especially the steroids. I'm feeling better. Sticking to the eating plan (liquid/puree diet) I walk everyday and I try to stay positive. I live with junkfood junkies. But they can have that.. I'm glad I don't have to stick myself with a needle full of insulin that is victory enough. I do thank God and all the people who are supportive towards me on this journey. Losing is winning in so many areas. Thanks y'all.

So glad you have been able to go off your insulin! That is really great news.

I hope I can go home off my insulin. I have been able to decrease my fast acting insulin by changing my eating habits. Yes, it would be great to not have to shoot myself with a needle multiple times a day...it would also be nice not to spend so much money on being obese!

I was very surprised when he told me to stop the diabetes regimen. My A1C is down to 5.9 it was 8.4

My A1c went all the way to 4.2 and she couldn't believe that it's been that low. So she discharged me from her and no insulin. I'm so happy. Finally in a size 14. Just pray I reach my goal weight

      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.
