Any October 2016 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Had my pre admission testing today, almost there - sleeve surgery on 10/12 [emoji38] I'm nervous but I had emergency gallbladder surgery and ended up almost a week in the hospital this past weekend, I kind of thought of it as a warm up practice run lol. I'm hoping the dr can use the same incisions since I'll still have the steri-strips on!!

I went in to have my surgery and was prep and waiting and the hospital had an emergency and they had to reschedule my surgery appointment to Monday October 10th. At first I was disappointed and then I hoped the person that needed emergency surgery survived because I can wait 4 more days for my new life to begin. I also learned so much during the time I waited. Every situation is a learning experience if you let !

Going home from hospital today. Feeling weak but know that's normal. Can't wait to get on the scale. Hope everyone is doing great!

You probably gained weight in the hospital from all the fluids, swelling, gas, etc. so don't be disappointed in what the scale says. It's best to stay off of it for a few weeks.

Oh I had gained a few from the surgery as well and as luck would have it, 2 days after surgery, my period started, do that added to the bloating and weight gain. Week later and I am heading down.

I'm doing well. Came home yesterday morning. I've been doing a lot of walking around the neighborhood (even went to Target yesterday afternoon!) and staying hydrated. Getting in some Protein (sipping bone broth) but mainly focusing on hydration. Tomorrow (3rd day post-op) is when my team wants me to start focusing on Protein - I'll be moving from Clear Liquids to full liquids then). I hope that everyone is doing well!!

      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.
