Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m having my surgery at the end of the month and I’m freaking out a bit. I know why I want to do it but I’m worried about the post op.
It’s just a lot to happen to the inside of you!

I have actually had a gastric band when I was too young and it didn’t work so now the sleeve is my best option.

I find that being positive about the whole thing really really makes a difference. But sometimes this whole thing makes it hard to sleep.

Any advice with feeling a bit anxious?

Thanks!! [emoji4]




Just remember that by day three you will be sleeping better. I’m one week post op today and feeling great. First two days/nights sucked but you will wake up 3rd or 4th day and realize you feel a lot less sore and it feels awesome! Went well Extra Strength Tylenol and didn’t take Oxy. Good luck.

I don't have a pre-surgery diet! Just nothing after midnight the night before and had to stop taking all my Vitamins.

This morning I had my pre-admission testing.

Not long after I got to my desk, the hospital billing office called and let me know that insurance had approved me. (the I called the insurance company and confirmed it.)

Holy crap. This is *actually happening* - one week from tomorrow (2/18).

      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.
