February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

my surgery is now February 23rd!!! I start the liquid diet on the Feb 8th and this will truly be a test of wills. I've never done an all liquid anything for more than a few hours, so for 14 days...ouch...just looking for others who will be going through the journey this month as well...

I start it on Feb. 10. It's going to be really hard because I leave for PV Mexico on Feb15. I will be doing my pre op diet at an all inclusive resort there. All that food!! Surgery is the 24 and I fly home March 1.

Febuary 15, and on day 3 of pre-op liquid diet. Brutal is the best word to describe it. I'm 550lbs truly hoping this helps me get down there. The fatigue during pre op diet is insane for me. Not to mention I hate artificial sweeteners so what I drink is very limited. Struggling big time.

I'm going to be struggling just like you so your not alone, I can't even imagine. I'm worried about the fatigue too because I have to work and my job is seated but fast paced and stressful uggg this is the part of the surgery I dread

Sorry I can't be more help. I'm really struggling at this point, I'm lactose intolerant so the shakes are just brutal too. I just keep trying to stay focused. I know I need this so that helps but the stomach pain and fatigue is crazy. And for some odd reason I cannot stop going to the bathroom even though I've only had 3 Protein Shakes a day for 3 straight days. Maybe my body is just flushing I don't know.

      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.
