June sleeve. A little shaky!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! Im new to the group. I don't know what going to happen if I don't get the 8 lbs off by June 1st . That's the date I schedule my surgery. I did my 6 month trial. But while during the 6 months trail my asthma flared up and I was put on steroids and I gained. But the dietary nurse wasn't trying to hear it. She said get the weight off. My health depend on this sleeve.

8 lbs in a week is going to be tough. The only way I know of is liquid fast. 3 Protein Shakes a day & that's it. You'll get all the nutrition you'll need. And walk everyday. 3 miles if you can. At least 1 & do it every day. I did a 2 week liquid fast using Premier Protein shakes. Hardest thing I've ever done but I lost 35 lbs in 2 weeks. Good Luck

I'm 2 years post op & have lost 185 lbs

Not sure what your current diet is, but I lost 3 pounds in a 6 day clear liquid only diet and another 3 pounds just last night after taking the required magnesium citrate drink. This was all the 1 week preop diet requirement for me as my surgery is this morning. Maybe something like that will help you. It sucks, but it's a necessary evil if it can get you where you need to be.

I don't get it, are they refusing to do surgery unless you lose 8 pounds by June 1?

Why do you need to lose 8lbs? During the 6 month process did you have to lose a certain amount of weight in order to get surgery?

I was to lose or maintain the weight I had but I gained.

That sounds ridiculous! Honestly if that is the case I would continue to lose weight as healthily as I could and push back the surgery. Yes there are ways to lose 8 pounds in a week, but they are unhealthy and I would want to go into surgery as healthy as possible to avoid any setbacks.

Then I would've to do the whole 6 months over again

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
