Sleeve March 31st. Nervous as hell. Not sure how to deal with the emotional eating. Any advice would appreciated!

Not enough room left in stomach to be too emotional of an eater. Gives you plenty of time to refocus your emotions if you listen to your body.

March 22.

Been working on this since last July. I was all set to submit everything to our insurance and found out we were moving back to the US. Feel fortunate that there was a clinic that would take what I had already completed and submit to insurance.

Exploring methods of support to stay on track after the surgery.

Hi all, my date is the March, 28th. After six plus months of supervised diet, my insurance has approved. I am excited and apprehensive at the same time.

I am interested in both the secret and the closed (but not secret) Facebook groups. Will someone please send me an invite to the secret one. My facebook is facebook.com/ramblindad. Thank you.

Hello everyone im finally post op March 16 & wanted to give my March Sleevers some support. The surgery wasnt to bad honestly , hurt alot less than a c section (i had 3). My back hurt the first night, the incisions hurt like a mini cut not to bad.. the gas is the pain, so walk it off. Ask for gas relief medicine or bring Gas X strips..wear loose clothes.. other than that be strong and positive.. good luck my March Sleevers

I'm set for March 31st. Started my liquid diet yesterday and so far, so good. My plan calls for 6 packets of Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added and unlimited broth, sf Jello and sf Popsicle. I feel like I'm constantly putting something in my tummy.

Surgery went well on March 7. The healing process is going along. Today for some reason or another, I experienced dumping syndrome. Thinking maybe due to drinking my Protein shake too fast. Wasn't a good feeling, only last for about 45 minutes.

Also interested in the Facebook group. Would be great to hook up with others who had surgery around the same time.

SubVet - Thank you for your service. Mr has dolphins as well.

      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.
