Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else going through major caffeine withdrawals trying to prep for surgery? I'm day 7 of no caffeine and I still have headaches! Any tips?


Drink lots of Water, if you're at day 7 since your last coffee, then you are nearly there. It took me about 7 days before I felt ok when I did the same.

I think it's a great idea to kick the caffeine before surgery so that you are not battling too many lifestyle changes at the same time.

So I had a small almost-panic-attack just now thinking that I was going to be rejected right on the OR table, LOL. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? :wacko:

Me too, just nerves, you are before me so I will watch and see best of luck.

Be strong and steady. I was very hangry emoji6.png it gets easier!! Keep your eye on the prize. I froze Greek yogurt for a treat and used unflavored Protein in a lot of things to make sure I got my Protein. If I got really hungry, I gulped a big cup of Water and went walking. Surgery for me is tomorrow. You can do it!!!

I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together. :)

I had mine this afternoon. Up walking, have some gas pain but all in all feel great. I was able to eat 2 squares of Jello. Nurse staff called a superstar!

Yeah, wish the gas in my upper stomach would disappear and I guess walking really helps with that.

I'm scheduled to be at hospital tomorrow at 12:15, and go into surgery around 2:30. Hopefully, this will be the last 16 hours I'll be hungry!! I love having this group to lean on at any time of the day!!!

I am scheduled for 3/12 and its hard to believe that is 6 days away. I am fortunate that I do not have to do 2 weeks of liquids. My surgeon has a 2 day liquid diet. Prior to that I have been doing Protein Shakes for Breakfast, lunch and then meat and veggies for dinner.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
