In need of a buddy sleeve date Feb 26!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to have surgery on Feb 26th. If you are having surgery around that date or have already had your procedure I would love to have a buddy to talk to about our experiences. I am currently doing my pre-op diet. Right now I am 218 5'4 and I am hoping to loose another 5-10 pounds before my procedure. I would love to get some advice on the liquid diet after the procedure and what Protein Drinks are good. I hope someone reaches out..starting to get nervous.. But oh so excited at the same time!!

Don't be nervous. I was too but it all comes together when it is time. I had my procedure last Aug. 30, I am 6 mos. out. I would enjoy talking or answering any questions you may have. Let me know. You're already doing it.!!!

When I first woke up I had a lot of gas pain and nausea. They gave me medicine until I was more comfortable. Yesterday just was not a great day. Today I am 100 percent better. I got a heating pad for the gas pain that seems to be worse in my shoulders and it helps more than anything else to control the pain. I can tolerate Water and broth now without nausea. So it starts off rough but quickly you will feel better. I would still say the pain was worth it!

Well it sounds like you are on the upside! That's great news! I am 53 years old and that's another thing that worries me but my BMI is below 40 so the doc says I am not a high risk. I am anxious to start this journey! Hope you continue to feel better every day!

I am 40 and my BMI is 32. You will do great. I have many friends who have done it and all say that it's worth it. We just gotta get past the first few weeks. Which I think are going to be the toughest.

Look for premier Protein at Sams or Walmart. They are good and have 30g of Protein per serving.

Congratulations bbclbc!! That is wonderful and I am glad your doing better. I can hardly take the wait anymore. I started this process in Oct and now it seems like now that I'm down to a week to wait I am going nuts.

      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.
