Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery August 16th. I am a single mom of 8 and my youngest has special needs. I do struggle with anxiety about having this done and not being there for a few days for them; however, I keep reminding myself this will allow me the opportunity to become a better mom for them, a healthier mom. So many emotions.

I feel the same way Newdaydawning! Praise to you single mom with 8 kids! Don't know how you do it! Let me know if you need any mama support. I know it's hard with 2! I can't imagine 8

Hey everyone, I'm a single 34 yr old and my surgery for the sleeve has been scheduled for Aug 22nd. I've been really focused up till now, Lost 20 lbs originally with really regular gym going and fairly decent eating. I went on vacation and gained 5 back :/ so working at getting back in the swing of things.

I'm starting to get nervous. I have a long family history of people having gastric bypass so once the dr said i needed it I just went ok let's get it done. Now that it's booked I'm more apprehensive but I know this is for the best.

I struggle with eating too much. I have been doing really good Breakfast and lunch then I eat too much at dinner. Then after kids are in bed I struggle. I have lost 12 lbs so far, but it's definitely tough. I would totally over eat on a cruise. Lol

I don't have kids but I have this trouble too. I bring Breakfast and lunch to work so I do well when my structure is in place. Once I'm home I don't do nearly as well.

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 was scheduled for August 16 but a slot opened up and I'm having it done June 27! I'm on day 2 of my pre op diet. I had my premeir Protein Shake mixed with Decaf coffee and I'm having chicken broth with a bit if breast meat. I used my crockpot to boil the breasts very soft and then added the stock. I seasoned with garlic powder. I also have some Vitamin Water drops to flavor water. I haven't made any sugar free pudding or Jello. I bought some Protein Powder I can make shakes with that is chocolate flavored but haven't had that yet

I'm scheduled for August 21st. They have to schedule my pre-op appointment with the nutritionist and then I meet with my surgeon sometime in early August. What state is everyone located in? I'm in North Carolina.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
