Getting Sleeved February 15



Recommended Posts

It has been a long road but, I am finally getting sleeved. I was scheduled for April 20th of last year but a family tragedy the night before prevented me from going through with it. ( I did a two week liquid diet too!) I am starting my SECOND liquid diet Wednesday and am looking for anyone that wants to stay in touch during the journey.

Hey Justin, my name is Mario. How are you feeling about the surgery coming up in a few weeks?

I still haven't had my sleeve done yet but I am thinking either late Feb / early March is when I get it done. Still waiting on a date.

We can keep in touch during your journey. I, too, am looking for sleevers that are going through this soon.

Good luck with your pre-op diet and keep us posted :)

Hi Justin and Mario, my name is Liz. I am going to get the sleeve surgery end of February. I am scared to death. Any words of encouragement from anyone?

The best advice I can offer is don't dread the journey, continuously focus on your vision of the new you. I tell myself that the positive is I am in my current situation because of many years of neglect and, it can all be rectified in a much shorter time.

Hey guys, I'm set for the sleeve on Valentine's Day 2/14. Just started my liver-shrinking diet. I'm excited and nervous!

Any of you keeping track of your weight and nutrition on MyFitnessPal? Would be awesome to keep track of our progress that way!

      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.
