May 2018 Sleevers Check In Here!



Recommended Posts

Hi May 2018 sleevers! I hope you all are doing well. This year has flown by very quickly. I am down 80 lbs. and have just 20 more to my goal weight. Been following the diet, but am in a bit of a stall...Went to my surgeon my check-up, and he is very happy with my progress, but thinks I am able to lose more. Recommended visiting my nutritionist to see where I can cut calories and/or carbs. Would love to hear how you all are doing...

I feel ok, I did have some sharp burning pain close to one of my incisions. Called my surgeons office and they suggested an ice pack and that helped a whole lot. Also for pain I have oxycodone and 1,000 mg of Tylenol. I still can’t tell when I’m full but I’m definitely not hungry. I have two 30grams of Protein Shakes a day and try to have 64oz of water... Also sugar free popsicles and pho (only the broth) are my faves lol

Each day, you'll feel better. Did you get the Sleeve or the Bypass? Which Protein Powder did you get?

My surgery is May 27 today is the first day of the fast I don’t know which is worse the hunger or the nervousness that grows with each passing day plus I’m type 1 diabetic so it’s a bit tricky to fast.

      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.
