PurpleAngel73 18 Posted February 22, 2022 My first post… my gastric sleeve date is April 8 and I’m really nervous. I also have Crohns and I’m worried I will have issues with the 3 weeks of slim time. anyone have good recipes for slim time? So happy to have found you all!Nice to meet you, SleeveApril82022. My surgery date is April 5th. My sister has Crohn's and didn't know if she could have the surgery or not. I asked one of the other surgeons in my weight loss clinic if she was cleared to have surgery with Crohn's, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. But, finally hearing from someone who has it too, I can now tell my sister she is good to go on getting the surgery. Have you asked your dietitian about what to eat during slim time?Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveApril82022 5 Posted February 22, 2022 PurpleAngel73, I have spoken with a dietitian about what to eat and they said to follow the normal protocol and to call if I had problems. I was approved for the gastric sleeve so I’m sure your sister would be similar. I still have to do an endoscopy and another ct scan just to make sure they can manoeuvre around a large cyst I have. I also have PCOS. So keep my in your thoughts for the next few tests! 1 PurpleAngel73 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And ideas on food/drinks to have? Any good tips? I just purchased a lot of Soup packs, and drink packs from bariatricpal to have stocked and ready to go. I am a quick meal person. I can't stand to take any time prepping meals, or cooking long elaborate Soups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveApril82022 5 Posted February 22, 2022 Lol I am a quick meal type person as well. The clinic I am going to only gave me the option of chocolate or vanilla slim time. But we can add extracts like strawberry or vanilla to make them taste better. 1 Dawnzie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume one would be allowed to at least have clear broths in addition to the Protein Drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem determined and I like that in a person who's trying to change themselves for the better. Keep up the great work and I will have a talk with my sister about making a change for her health. Good luck and may God be forever on your side. SherieSent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 SleeveApril82022 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
