Recommended Posts

I think I have too much on my plate!!!! I have been working on getting this sleeve for over a year. In the mean time I applied for a MSW program and to my surprise I got in.... now I’m like holy **** I’m getting the sleeve starting a Masters program and not to mention I have a family a 15 year old, 11 year old and 1 year old... I have to do this there is no putting anything on hold I have waited what seems like for ever for both opportunities... can anyone relate???

Yes, I can relate. I had a lot on my plate when I got my DS--I was also in graduate school, but honestly you'll be so happy when you start seeing the changes. It's doable. I also have two of my kids still living at home (not a one year old though. That would be hard). Keep moving forward with your eye on the ball: your health. Prioritize your to-do list, and plan your meals on the weekend. The first few months are the hardest. It gets easier.

You have this - breath. If you can handle and infant and teenager graduate school will be fine and the sleeve will be just part of a larger transformation. Sometimes structure makes change a little easier you are spot on there is never a good time - The time is now. [emoji38]

I can relate.. I work full-time, working on my Degree, i have 4 Boy’s(12y, 5y, 2y, &1y) I feel so overwhelmed at times. Especially if I can’t get everything done. The laundry sometimes sits for a few days and some night I make a quick dinner for my family. I just feel like I’m all over the place. So I totally can relate to what your feeling. I’m taking it day by day and keeping my eyes on the prize! Sexy by summer 2018!! [emoji322]

      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.
