June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I am having a hard time processing my feelings about my surgery so I am starting a blog. I have never edited video before so hopefully I can get better. This first video is longer than what the rest will be.

I go for my preop appointment this Thursday. I will be recording parts of that experience. I am not sure if this will help anyone, but it will hopefully help me at the bare minimum.

Thanks and and good luck! Surgery is June 11. So two week away!

Hey @ Amanda403, you are going to be fine! Are you going to be on YouTube? And what are you going to call it? Maybe something like "Anxious Amanda gets Her Sleeve"?👉😧👈

Hey, I’m scheduled for the 8th June 2018 in the uk. 224lbs before pre op diet x


Hi Pinkxxx, I am a few days before you on June 4th & starting at 17st (238lb).

Not many of us Brits on here! I'm a Londoner but am having the Op in the Czech Republic - would have loved to have it in the UK but didn't want to pay £12k or have to jump through endless hoops to get it on the NHS! Best of luck to you - not long 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.
