Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just got discharged - sore, but not impossible and don't need anything but Tylenol. Very VERY sleepy; load a hydration app on your phone before you go in, if you can, I had a hard time keeping track when writing or typing. I'm using WaterMinder and pre-set a 1oz measure so I could just turn on the app and tap each time I drank. My stomach aches, but it's not sharp pains. Incisions are a bit sharper. For whatever reason I progressed really fast and was fit for discharge about 18 hours after surgery. I'm now home sipping a Protein Shake and getting ready to nap again.

Remember that anything you bring into the hospital, you'll have to sign an "I won't sue if this gets stolen" waiver.

Do like the late Jerry Reed did with Amos Moses in his song, turn him into Gator Bait! F**k him or better yet don't F**k him, see how he feels about that! He needs to get on Team Florida Gal and now. Don't let him run rough-shod over you like I did my late husband. Nobody loves a soggy old doormat. Mine professed his love but I don't think he respected me. Learn from a sadder and later-wise person.

Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!

I received great news today. Since I started my Aetna PPO insurance required pre-surgical diet with the nutritionist in November, I have lowered my cholesterol from 206 to 165! The doctor told me my numbers were "excellent". Small wins sure help you feel better about the pre- process. Happy me!

      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.
