MAY 2019 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi all I am scheduled for May 3rd in Mexico. Anyone else gearing up for surgery?
I am scheduled for Wednesday. Both nervous and excited. Not looking to a few more weeks of liquids but I know it will be worth it

Finished with last appointment and submitted and approved by insurance. Got ‘the call’ from the office with confirmation with date, May 14th and time 8:00am, I’m first up. I have my Vitamins all set and picked up my scripts. Started shopping for clear and full liquids and will be all set with that by the end of the week. I’ll start to transition things to my backups in two weeks and then my last day in the office is May 10th. Told to expect a 2 night stay but no catheter, no drains, no feeding tube, and no blood thinner shots. This thing is really gonna happen...

I'm not nervous for the surgery at all, but I think I'm starting to mourn the things that I won't be having again: my morning Mcdonalds diet coke, my hot cafe pretzel on Target runs, my cinnamon bears at CVS, the cinnamon twists at Dominos...okay, i need to stop!

On another note, we moved from Helena, AL to Hawaii 6 years ago. Love me some Zoe's Kitchen. Roll Tide!

Extremely. Keep thinking about all the things that could go wrong. During AND after!

      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.
