Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I think it is normal to feel scared some what. This is something we have not been thru. I have been overweight my entire life, so although the change will be good, it is still change.

Yes. Thank you for your response. My current weight is 352lbs, with a BMI of 61.5. I am planning to have my gastric sleeve soo. However, I heard a lot of post-op complications such as: blood clots, vomiting, anemia, blood pressure ect. That is why I am scared.

Just found out today that Cigna approved my surgery and we scheduled it for August 16th.
I am so ready.

Congrats! They submitted mine on the 21nd and I received a letter yesterday that they asked Dr for more information. I called doctor today and they said they already submitted. Fingers crossed!

I'm starting to make a shopping list for the pre-op and post-op diet. My surgeon is having me on a liquid diet for two weeks before and after. Anyone else have the same diet plan for a month? Any suggestions on what your stocking up on for Aug?


I'll be on a liquid diet for two weeks before and then up to day 20 post op. I'll be stocking up on Jello, SF pudding, yogurt, Crystal light, Protein Shakes and SF popsicles. I also bought the clear premier fruit punch drink and a Protein broth powder (haven't tried either yet) and am trying to find an unflavored Protein Powder. And even though I don't like it, I bought some unsweetened applesauce.

Hello briski, yeah I think ill be doing a lot of those options for after the surgery. But from my understanding, Jello, pudding, and popsicles don't count as part of the liquid diet. So I won't be able to use them pre-op :/

Just curious as to everyone's starting weight and how much if any you needed to lose before surgery.

That stinks. I know I can't have pudding pre op but I can have everything post, except for the day before surgery and days 1-6, which are Clear Liquids only.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
