Recommended Posts

Well this is my fist post I am very new to the site and have been researching my surgery and working towards it since November of 2016, I know that compared to other stores and video's that I have heard, my process is short amout of time. I have great insurance because I work for the state that I live in so luckily I did not have to go through a weight lose program or see a Nutritionist for a certain number of visits I have struggled with weight for most of my adult life and I have losted and gained weights over the years and I find as I get older it gets harder for me to jump on a diet and lose 20-40 pounds like i'm use to....
Plus a lot of the methods that i've used could have crazy side effects and with my mom recently being treated for breast Cancer I am no longer willing to take those risks I want to stay on track and live a better healthier life. I look forwards to hearing from you ...many blessings

Good luck! I am getting my sleeve on January 17, and I am so excited/anxious! My process moved really fast as well. My first consultation was on December 6, and now my surgery is just a little over a month after that. Like you, I have tried so many diets, or just eating healthy/clean, and I finally just made the decision that I had to do something that was going to work and help me maintain over the long run. I know this will not be an easy fix, but it will definitely be a strong tool to help me get healthier!

      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.
