Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else going through major caffeine withdrawals trying to prep for surgery? I'm day 7 of no caffeine and I still have headaches! Any tips?


Drink lots of Water, if you're at day 7 since your last coffee, then you are nearly there. It took me about 7 days before I felt ok when I did the same.

I think it's a great idea to kick the caffeine before surgery so that you are not battling too many lifestyle changes at the same time.

So I had a small almost-panic-attack just now thinking that I was going to be rejected right on the OR table, LOL. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? :wacko:

Me too, just nerves, you are before me so I will watch and see best of luck.

Be strong and steady. I was very hangry emoji6.png it gets easier!! Keep your eye on the prize. I froze Greek yogurt for a treat and used unflavored Protein in a lot of things to make sure I got my Protein. If I got really hungry, I gulped a big cup of Water and went walking. Surgery for me is tomorrow. You can do it!!!

I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together. :)

I had mine this afternoon. Up walking, have some gas pain but all in all feel great. I was able to eat 2 squares of Jello. Nurse staff called a superstar!

Yeah, wish the gas in my upper stomach would disappear and I guess walking really helps with that.

I'm scheduled to be at hospital tomorrow at 12:15, and go into surgery around 2:30. Hopefully, this will be the last 16 hours I'll be hungry!! I love having this group to lean on at any time of the day!!!

I am scheduled for 3/12 and its hard to believe that is 6 days away. I am fortunate that I do not have to do 2 weeks of liquids. My surgeon has a 2 day liquid diet. Prior to that I have been doing Protein Shakes for Breakfast, lunch and then meat and veggies for dinner.

      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.
