February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

Are any of you on the 17th going to Dr. Ortiz?

Dr.Ortiz is my surgeon and I'm scheduled for this coming Friday on the 10th. Will be staying at the Marriott. I just live on the other side of the border in North San Diego, so I'm glad to not have to deal with traveling more than an hour.

I just got my date yesterday. I was surprised how fast my insurance approved it! February 15th is the start of my new beginning/Journey. I think it's a great idea for February Sleeves to do this together!

I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

My date is February 15th. I think it's a great idea for us February Sleeves to join together!

My date is February 8th :) I'm a wide range of emotions!!!

Mine is the 8th as well and I'm starting to feel the nerves. Lol

My family asks if it feels real yet and it's starting to. I think it will really sink in when I get the call on Tuesday afternoon for the time they want me to come in Wednesday.

Good luck to you!

As I was eating dinner tonight, it hit me that this weekend is the last time that I eat a large meal with carbs. I kind of freaked out a bit as I start liquid diet on Monday and the surgery is 2 weeks after.

I have waited for this for so long and my life will change forever. I know that this surgery is my answer to no more morbid obesity. Yet I am scared....scared of the unknown. Anyone else understand this??

I am getting my surgery on 2/15. I am super nervous and excited. Glad to have a group that is going through the same thing. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I am really craving an orange, but do not want to cheat. :)

      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.
