February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

Went to Sam's and picked up some Premier Protein! I've got like 3 different types of Protein powders that I'll be trying out to see what I like best. My doc has me starting my 2 week pre-op on Feb 2. 4 Protein shakes + 1 lean meat and 2 cups green veg at dinner.

Driving myself to FL on the 16th for pre-op and surgery is Feb 17th!

I'll be you tubing for encouragement to other "older" women! I'm 50 with two pre-teen boys! I'll post when I get one loaded

Scheduled for Feb 8th with Dr. Illan. On day three of the liquid diet and to be honest I'm surprised it hasn't been harder. I miss chewing for sure but not too hungry for the most part. I think this weekend will be tough but I'm just going to try and make myself be busy.

We did this for the January sleevers and I have to say it's an awesome support because everyone will be right there together usually within days of each other in the experience... we also started a group chat for ourselves on kik it's great support and immediate advice options and all kind of stuff!

progress starts in the mind

Nervous and exited I got my insurance approved in one day. My surgery date is February 22nd I do have irrational thoughts of what if something happens (like cancer or another illness ) and I need my stomach and to late it's gone. Other than the irrational I'm reading a lot of gastric sleeve books and working on the physiological to make sure I'm ready

I can't find if someone answered if the FB group is private? As in no one except members can see posts and members?

Can someone let me know? Thank you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
