Calling all April 2013 Sleevers going to Mexico!



Recommended Posts

I am confused with my pre op diet. I ordered the pre op package through OCC but that is for 15 days. I was under the understanding that I didn't have to diet for 15 days. Hmmm. Any suggestions on this. I have a low bMI

sheri3388 - I would call Lori or Carolyn and ask. Patients have different pre-op requirements depending on the doctor and their weight.

I have to do 2 weeks of 2 Protein shakes a day and a protein/salad for dinner' date=' then 3 days prior to surgery I have to be on Clear Liquids and take a daily laxative. Water and yogurt sounds much better :P[/quote']

I have tummy trouble with stuff like yogurt, so I actually would prefer the clear liquids. Which im thinking like broths? Im going to ask if I can mix it up between the two. Im wondering if yogurt because it has Probiotics in it. That could be to help the bathroom issues?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
