Central Jersey Sleeved 7/12!



Recommended Posts

Hey there! I was just sleeved on 7/12/16 and am from the Central Jersey (Somerset Cty) area. Looking for others in the area, maybe to start a group, or to simply just be supportive and know that locally you have a friend nearby!!

I know - I am a transplant and I think raritan, sommerset. Etc are northern jersey ... But then my " true" north jersey friends say I might as well be from Pennsyl- tucky ... So I guess it is all relative ...

@@jersey0601 I'm on phase 3 soft foods, which has been a bit tough because there's only so many soft foods out there!! How about you? I'm over in the Manville area

Hi kbuck3779 .... How are things ? I'm not sure what phase 3 soft foods are ... But any real food is better than liquids, right ? You going to the gym or staying active ? I'm going to my first zoomba ( sp?) class today - trying different exercises each week

@@jersey0601 So far not too bad, I've definitely hit my 3 week stall, but I'm glad I'm not solely on liquids any more!! I've been doing a lot of walking, trying to stay somewhat low impact, but I've been using light hand weights to help with upper body.

@@jersey0601 I had no idea what to expect, but apparently my expectations were too high. I guess I just read a lot about people having a big loss immediately after surgery. I didn't have that and then i stalled after only 10 days. I'm just about 4 weeks out and this week I am seeing some movement on the scale after almost 3 weeks. It's frustrating- mostly because it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. And also reminiscent of all the dieting I did pre-sleeve that never produced any results. I'll keep moving forward following my nutritionists plan and tracking all my food. Hopefully it will pass!

      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.
