Anyone get sleeved in May?



Recommended Posts

I wasn't forced to do a preop diet but I prepared for the surgery for a while so I practiced things. I gave up soda and caffeine before the surgery so I wouldn't get headache withdrawals. I also practiced not eating for emotional reasons, which was hard.

My surgery date is May 9th this coming Monday. I would love to keep in touch with people who are getting sleeves around the same time as well. I am currently in the 2nd week of my Doctor's required Liver shrink liquid diet. Can you say hard?

How are you doing so far? Did you have any pre-op requirements?

Because I am not sure that I am disciplined enough to eat sensibly afterwards. Not sure I can cope without my comfort foods. Worried about excess skin. Angry that I can't just diet to lose weight like "normal" people. etc, etc

What did you decide? I was sleeved on the 5th and I have had my rough days however I am down 20 lbs, off diabetes and blood pressure meds! I go to a local support group once a week and I also talk on here. I may eventually add in some therapy but that is just to take her of me mentally after already choosing to take care of myself physically. Its not going to be easy but after 8 days I am feeling better and lookomg forward to the future.

I had mine may 2nd :) woo! No regrets. I was insanely scared and having horrible anxiety but I had been putting my surgery off for a year so finally just did it and I am so happy I did. I've already lost 14 pounds. Would love to hear how you did! Good vibes your way.

This is my last weekend before I begin pre-op diet (only for 3 days before my sleeve surgery, which will be 5/24). I don't want to go overboard, but I will be drinking vino and coffee this weekend, two of my favorite beverages. I know that once I'm sleeved, those will be no-nos, at least for the 1st several months.

I am not looking forward to the headaches that will come from caffeine withdrawal and the liquid pre-op fast, but since I'm come this far on my journey....ONWARD AND UPWARD!

      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.
