Waiting And Starting To Get A Little Anxious



Recommended Posts

I started my process in September 2011

Initial Consult w/Surgeon- 9/2/11

sleep Study - 9/12/11

Initial Consult with Dietician -9/26/11

Nutritional Classes 9/29, 10/20, 11/17

Nicotine Test 11/22/11

Finally(had issues with the psychologist) Psych Eval 12/14

Now, i am just sitting around waiting on the phone to ring...I have been going to the gym and trying to eat a little better, but I am just assuming because of the holidays is why I haven't heard anything. Trying not to get nervous, but I could be just anxious; I also have been a YouTube addict watching Sleeve journeys and i am still encouraged about the process, however i am hoping to get word.

I am going tomorrow to try out some Protein shakes for my pre op diet. Anybody have any suggestions on good (if they even exists) Protein Shakes...

36 y/o Female

5ft 2in

Starting Weight at initial consult 263

Current Weight 258

BMI 47.2

Hey there, sounds like you are very close to your surgery! I was soooo nervous before mine. I had it on December 20th, so I'm still getting used to it. Not sure if you are a member of a costco but they have a really good protien shake in chocolate and vanilla. Target has a few good options too. My surgeon had me on Optifast for an entire month before my surgery! It is so hard not to cheat! Good luck on your sleeve, and hope you hear something soon...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
