December 2018 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I’m struggling too. I’ve been eating Protein and veggies in addition to shakes but feel like this last week I need to just cut out everything else and just do shakes! I’m nervous about something getting in the way of surgery, I’ve come this far for it to be cancelled or postponed!

So my doctors office submitted everything to my insurance this week. Now the waiting game to hear back to schedule my last consult with dr and schedule surgery date. Excited yet nervous because it’s the waiting to set them up

I am in a similar spot, first submission sent in late October didn’t include my 36 month weight history so it was denied..long sad story where I finally got all items (fingers crossed) ready to be submitted. So for now I am only a HOPEFUL December...wishing you a speedy approval!!

Struggling with the liquid diet today. I ate an ounce of cheddar cheese and feel terrible about it! 3 more days until surgery.

Are you fully liquid? I have two shakes + 4 oz of Protein and unlimited starchy vegetables. You got this! The cheese is just a tiny blip on your radar :)

Best of luck guys for whomever is this week. liquid diet sucks but it’s helping for sure with the post op diet. I am counting down the days to have some Soup with texture again.

Going to weigh myself weekly on the same day as my surgery which will be a Friday. Trying to prep myself for the rollacoaster the next year is going to bring.

      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.
