Any August 2018 sleevers out there?!



Recommended Posts

Hey all!! My surgery was originally scheduled for June 18th, but due to a variety of reasons I had to delay until August. My new date is ..

August 23rd!!!

Are there any surgery twins out there? Any other August sleevers? I would love a support system, because my real life support system is tiny, and I’m starting to freak out and second guess every decision I’ve made. Let’s form a support network!

Friday August 31st for me. See the nutritionist on August 8th. Not sure if I'll be put on the two week pre op diet then, as my surgeon hasnt said anything about wanting me to. Im in Australia, so its winter here. My start weight is 290lbs and lm 165cm tall.

Planning on spending the next 10 weeks devouring the forum to learn as much as possible and starting the lifestyle changes. More Protein less carbs, Water, exercise - lve set up the treadmill in my lounge room. I want to be 8 - 10kg down by surgery day.

I’m feeling the same way!! Some days I wish the surgery was tomorrow. Some days I am second guessing it.

I’m going on vacation July 12th! Part of reason I switched from the June surgery date. I’m glad that you’re feeling ready! That’s great!!!

      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.
