Scheduled for Gastric Sleeve 11/8



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone....

I'm still learning this site and reading so much about everyone's success which is a HUGE motivator for me.

I'm scheduled for Gastric Sleeve surgery on 11/8 and couldn't be more excited. i'm currently on my pre-op diet and I have to admit that it hasn't it been too bad. My doctor doesn't require a total liquid, only two Protein shakes a day plus high Protein dinner which usually includes 4 oz. chicken/fish/turkey with a vegetable. I drink tons of Water and sugar free Jello (if need be) should I get hungry throughout the day. My doctor also allows me to have broth. With Halloween being yesterday, I did struggle with the candy bowl sitting there, so I gave in and had two small pieces of chocolate. After that I bagged up the remainder of the candy so my husband could take it to work with him so it is no longer in the house. Like they say, if it isn't in the house or you don't buy it, it won't be there to eat. :) I know after next week, we won't have these issues as we have completely cleaned out our fridge and pantry. Healthy lifestyle here I come.

I'm looking forward to meeting people here and making true connections with others that have had or are going to have the same procedure I am and will be able to offer their advice :)

Have a wonderful night everyone :D

      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.
