Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

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.

I am also 3/12. I only have to do liquids all day Sunday and then nothing by mouth at midnight on Monday. I'm so excited.

Ok. I just had my appointment with my surgeon to go over everything and sign consents (surgery is scheduled for March 21st).

Current state of mind:

"Am I doing the right thing...." "What if something happens on the table......." "What if something happens afterwards and I'm really sick...." "Is this worry a higher power sending me a sign that I shouldn't do this......."

I'm out of my mind with worry............:(:(

Hunger for me didn't get easier. I just kept drinking shakes and Water and eating yougurt. I'm here now, checked into hospital waiting to go to my room. My anxiety is sky high. I keep asking if this is the right decision. But I know it is. For my life. I need this to have a LIFE.

To answer your questions: 1.Yes--- you're doing the right thing, at the right time and for the right reasons.2. No--- you Will Not die on the table, operative deaths are almost nil, besides hospitals and Bariatric centers do their very best to not have that besmirch(ooh i[emoji307] that word!) their good reputation and record. 3.Nausea is a very transitory thing and not that many get it anyway. No surgeon worth his salt is going to leave you in worse shape than when you were wheeled in. Surgeons tend to be self confident, have a high opinion of their skills and compentencies, you think they'll willingly make a boo-boo? No way, Jose!

4.A higher being sending a message not to do this? No just your devil of self- doubt trying raise his ugly head. Don't let him, you're a grownup, you're bigger than him and he doesn't have your interests at heart. Tell him Shut up and Leave Me Alone, you're not my friend and I choose not to listen to You. You are going to be fine fine fine, don't let all the whimwahs get you down.

I'm so upset with my hubby right now. We're both 6 days post-oo and took a trip to the mall. After about an hour, I told him we had to go cuz I was getting thirsty. On our way out, we spotted vending machines with Gatorade. So the low sugar, low calorie flavors were sold out, so I said I'll just wait until we get home, and he actually got upset with me and said, really? So you're gonna avoid sugar for the rest of your life? And then we began to argue, which we NEVER do.

I don't know how I'm gonna do this without his support. He wants to continue his old eating habits, just in less quantities. That's not how this works and I can't have him pressuring me into making bad choices. My marriage has honestly been IDEAL so far. Incredibly, unheard of WONDERFUL. But it won't survive if he's not on my team. It just won't. I'm so upset right now.

      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.
