February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

Went to Sam's and picked up some Premier Protein! I've got like 3 different types of Protein powders that I'll be trying out to see what I like best. My doc has me starting my 2 week pre-op on Feb 2. 4 Protein shakes + 1 lean meat and 2 cups green veg at dinner.

Driving myself to FL on the 16th for pre-op and surgery is Feb 17th!

I'll be you tubing for encouragement to other "older" women! I'm 50 with two pre-teen boys! I'll post when I get one loaded

Scheduled for Feb 8th with Dr. Illan. On day three of the liquid diet and to be honest I'm surprised it hasn't been harder. I miss chewing for sure but not too hungry for the most part. I think this weekend will be tough but I'm just going to try and make myself be busy.

We did this for the January sleevers and I have to say it's an awesome support because everyone will be right there together usually within days of each other in the experience... we also started a group chat for ourselves on kik it's great support and immediate advice options and all kind of stuff!

progress starts in the mind

Nervous and exited I got my insurance approved in one day. My surgery date is February 22nd I do have irrational thoughts of what if something happens (like cancer or another illness ) and I need my stomach and to late it's gone. Other than the irrational I'm reading a lot of gastric sleeve books and working on the physiological to make sure I'm ready

I can't find if someone answered if the FB group is private? As in no one except members can see posts and members?

Can someone let me know? Thank you!

      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.
