December 2018 Sleevers!

[SpringBurrell 9]

Hello everyone!
I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!
Anyone else scheduled out in December?

I’m so excited! I moved from all clears post-surgery to clears + Protein drinks! The Protein Drinks make me feel more normal again. #LifeIsGood 😊🎉

Careful with those, I had a bad experience 🤢🤢.

As a treat for myself I’ve gone to the canarie islands to soak up some winter sun After a rough two weeks this is giving me the boost I need. Highly recommend do something nice for yourself when you hit the two week mark. food wise I’m managing about six to seven mouthfuls of food. Trying to eat about 5 times a day that’s what my team suggest. Protein always comes first then usually veg. Looking forward to some nsv’s

I don’t see my dietician until the 19th so my food options r still very limited 😔 what is nsv’s?

[irish_sleever 50]

Non scale victory like wearing an outfit that didnt fit you before or sitting on a plane comfortably just something you couldnt do before that you can now that isnt weighing scale related.

Well try some other puree type foods like the rocotta bake its delish. And of the right texture I think.

Yogurt
Ricotta
Cottage cheese
Strained cream soup
pudding
And allowable liquids that’s it 😕

I would argue that the weeks leading up to the surgery (pre-op diet) and the weeks receding (post-op clear liquids) are the most difficult ones to deal with. It is most definitely a head game. I've been craving refried Beans like no one's business.

I just want to chew 😫

Does the chewable Multivitamins count Few days more and you’ll be chewing again. I can honestly say I never want to see broth again....

That pre-op diet was hell, mainly due to the sugar and carb withdrawal feel so much better now. I’m just getting to chew again so I’m enjoying every second of it. My programs slightly diff from most I do the two week pre-op liquids then two weeks post op liquids then we go straight into soft food no need for purée then after four weeks back to normal diet as tolerated. I’m just over two weeks post op and trying my best to enjoy every minute of chewing

Oh wow that is quick!
