Getting sleeved tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I can't believe the day is finally here! I get sleeved tomorrow, September 18th, and I couldn't be more excited! I've lost a total of 25 pounds in the last 2 weeks during my pre-op diet for a grand total of 45 pounds. Anyone else getting sleeved tomorrow?

Thank you so much! My pre-op diet was 2 weeks. The first week I could have 3 Protein Shakes and a meal for dinner consisting of a Protein and vegetable. Week 2 has been 5 protein shakes a day. I had to purchase Bariatric Advantage from my doctor's office, but it tasted like baby formula. Slim fast has 20g of protein shakes that are tolerable. Premier Protein is pretty great and their shakes are 30g. There's a website called Unjury, they have a chicken Soup flavored powder that is really good and 21g of protein. Their unflavored powder can go in any drink also with 21g of protein. If you mix them in your shaker bottle, they totally dissolve and it isn't a thick consistency. You almost can't taste the unflavored powder. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi kristin....i just you d this app and I think I am glad I did, I too will have surgery tomorrow and I am concerned. All the things I am reading everyone did a 2 week pre-op diet, my doctor only had me do a 7 day one. Guess it's too late now since my surgery is scheduled for 8:45am..

My sleeve date is Tuesday the 19th. I am super excited. I think I have nervous energy tonight. Laundry is done . I have my hospital bag packed. All my clear Proteins lined up ready to go. It's like "nesting" at the end of pregnancy. Its taken about 9 months of preparation, testing etc to get to this point! Let's do this!

Thanks everyone!! Surgery was yesterday and it went really well. I'm not in much pain. I just got my first meal tray with broth and a New Whey Protein shot. If I tolerate it well then I'll get to go home in a few hours!!

      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.
