Any March Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So I'm booked in for my gastric sleeve on the 14th March. Nervous excitement.

Meeting dietician next week for get the pre op diet. She reckons for me it'll be 2 weeks.

I've already started cutting out things on a weekly basis. So hopefully by the time I get to the beginning of March the pre op diet won't be such a shock.

Anyone else booked for March? Would be great to have a sleeve buddy.

I will probably be joining you in March. I'm waiting on insurance approval at the moment, and it's basically taking forever (3 days so far lol). I was hoping for Feb, but paperwork submission had some hangups, and it doesn't seem feasible now. I've been having food funerals in preparation for the coming weeks, culminating in a group of my friends meeting up for sushi this weekend. Then, I'm off the carbs officially. I've already cut out sodas, snacky foods, and coffee.

Patricka76. THat would be helpful. looking at the other ones posted, looks like a no /low carb diet is what's generally recommended. I get mine next week but was just wondering what to expect.

      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.
