February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

I know right. I even bought like toddler fork and knife and toddler plates lol so I can get used to portion sizes. I'm doing isagenix 30 day cleanse. 2 Protein shakes a day and healthy meal for supper. And then 2 days a week, for the first and second week are "cleanse days". When you use their juice and supplements. I've done their cleanses a lot. It worked really well for me in the past. I'm going to continue using their shakes and stuff post op because it has a lot of Vitamins and nutrients. However, some doctors say there is too much sugar. But the sugar is natural source and for all the other nutrients it has, it outweighs any other Proteins I have researched. My doctor is on board with it. So that's good haha. Also cleanse days are meant to lower visceral fat which is fat around organs! Like the liver and stomach, which we need haha. It's win win. Not the easiest thing to do but I know it's working. :)

Hey guys I got a surgery date for Feb. 8, 2017. I'll be having surgery in NJ.

Still haven't been approved by insurance yet tho. Very nervous about it actually as I have gained a couple of pounds due to the holidays and scared they might think I'm not serious about surgery . 8 pounds to be exact from the last time they weighed me.

I am 5'5 and weigh 248 now. When the first weighed me I was 240 in November

Really can't wait for the next 3 weeks to fly by and I hope I get approved!!

Good luck my feb. sleevers !!!! I will keep y'all updated .

Feb. 8th also!!

We are going out on Saturday to Benihana to Celebrate two of my children and my Birthday that I will miss during this next 8 week recovery b4 I'm reintroduced to actual food. I'm calling it the "last supper" lol.

I absolutely love the idea of the smaller utensils and toddler sized plates. I plan on doing this as well.

Good luck everyone

Paperwork was submitted in early December and was approved in less than two weeks! My date is set for February 16. I'm excited, yet scared! Its been since the late 90's since I've had any type of major surgery. My surgery will be in Birmingham Alabama.

My date is Feb 14th. That's right, Valentine's day! It is tentative pending insurance approval. I have BCBS and they required 6 consecutive month doc visits with weight loss management. I joined weight watchers and had a well documenting doc. Should find out by next week if insurance approves or if I have more hoops to jump through. Fingers crossed!

      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.
