March 12, 2019 sleevers, here we go



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day for us schedule for March 12. I go in at 5:30 am for a 7:30 am surgery time. I'm only slightly nervous. Feeling mostly content with my decision and ready to get this done and start recovery. I've lost a total of about 53 pounds, 40 on the 6-month supervised diet and about 13 (I think) on the two-week liver shrink diet. My tummy got smaller so hopefully that's because my liver shrank as it should have. I should have about 105 to 110 pounds to lose after surgery to get to my ultimate goal. I'll try to update at some point after the surgery.

Good luck and best wishes to all having surgery tomorrow. Here's to a new life of living instead of watching it pass us by. Update here, as you are able.

      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.
