December 2018 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations and best wishes for your upcoming surgery from one of the oldest chronologically but younger than Springtime in my ❤. Was Bypassed 11 weeks ago today, my recovery not stellar, my road bumpy⚠ with temporary 🚧pitfalls, but would NEVER go back to my BEFORE and my days now are future 🌞sunlight, starlight sparkles🌟 and 🌈rainbows. Even Gloomy days⛅⚡☔ cannot last forever!

Hi Folks,

I am scheduled for 12/5/2018 surgery date. My surgery and program are through Kaiser in Northern California, at the Richmond Medical Center.

In the midst of all of this, I am applying to PhD programs and searching for jobs. I'm thrilled for the next part of this journey.

SW: 308 / CW: 282.6 / GW: ???

I forgot to mention that my procedure is the gastric sleeve.

Hi all!

I'm very new here. I'm a younger guy in his twenties going through the first year of law school and am getting sleeved on December 17!

Welcome! I'm going through school to be a Rad Tech, but thankfully my surgery falls into a time frame where I have about a month to heal before I go back to school. How about you?

I started my pre-op diet on Tuesday. Its not a full liquid diet, I get to eat food with mine as well as three shakes a day. Its very carefully controlled on what I can eat and how much, 2 very specific frozen meals a day and small amounts of "approved" vegetables with two of my shakes. I'm very thankful for this as I think a pure liquid diet I would be going insane right about now.

11 days until surgery though, all of my pre-op stuff done, blood-work and nicotine test already came back and I am good to go.

      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.
