Any April/May 2016 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Well I just received the call that my surgery is scheduled May 3rd. This has been such a long, back and forth road for me. I am excited, but starting to have my doubts. Just typing about it is making me quiver. My anxiety is reaching an all time high. I can't believe I feel so weak. Kind of disappointed with myself. Sorry for being all over the place with this post. I don't have anyone else to talk to about this but my husband. And while he's supportive, I'm sure he is irritated with this WLS topic. Well thanks for letting me vent and I dont expect anyone to care or even respond. Just figured getting it out of my system would help.

Hello all,

I am scheduled for surgery 5/3/16 and was hoping to find some other people scheduled in April or May to keep in touch with for mutual support.

Hi, I am having my surgery on 5/24/16. Really getting excited about it. I have been going through a three month pre-op program that is a requirement of my insurance company and it has really helped get me ready. I have met with a nutritionist three times and my doctor four times and still have two to go before surgery. It has really helped me to feel I am ready for the surgery. I still have some nerves about the surgery. I love reading all of the post on the forum. It helps me feel like I can do this.

Thats my date tooo! yeahhhh

It's natural to have doubts and cold feet! Think about all of the success stories shared on this site and stay strong! Everything will go great!

I have 5 months more to wait.

Yes ma'am it is. It's kinda embarrassing since I'm a Army veteran. Never had weight problems until the 3 very tough pregnancies. Could not lose the weight. Either way, it's been a long road and I guess I better get ready. Lol keep me posted on ur surgery and recovery. I wish u the very best. Thanks for responding. It means the world to me!! :)

My surgery is April 26th. My grandson's birthday. I started the liquid diet on the 12th. It is ok. Some of those flavors are really sweet. I am not a big sweet fan.

Almost there... 4 more days. This diet has become so much easier this week. I barely think about food now. At nights is where I struggle the most. I just miss chewing food.

Not weigh myself until surgery day on Monday. Last Tuesday I was 93.4 kg at the preop. 205.4 lbs.

started preop at 210

      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.
