Calling May 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else besides me getting sleeved on May 31st. I definitely need some people to stick together with while I go through this. I start my pre-opp diet (which is not nearly as awful as some of the ones I've heard about on here thank goodness!) on the 18th! I'm going out for Hibachi and Sushi the evening of the 17th which is my favorite just to enjoy it - not saying goodbye.. I'll have it again someday but it may be several months so I need to get a last crack at it :D

Yes I'm so nervous and always wondering if I'm doing the right thing. But I'm 35 years old weight 230 /5"3 and I have 2 children ages 3 and 1...I'm doing this mostly to stick around longer to see them grow and live a healthy life...I try to remind myself that it's all for them because if I was selfish I would just stay enjoying eating fatty foods and not caring for myself....I'm so nervous....and this liquid diet isn't helping...it's making me tired and irritable lol ????

Mine isn't so bad. It's not liquid until the last day before surgery. Until then it's just restricted 800 calories with low fat dairy, Protein shakes, lean meat, and veggies. I start that on Wednesday. Pretty scared about how hungry I'll be. But it's gonna be worth it

      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.
