Thanks, so much for responding, So, you have not gotten your Sleeve done yet? You got the tummy tuck first? I agree I am trying not to keep asking people different things other thatn doctors or peopl whom has been thorugh it, because i often get horror stories. I am so sick of pills and medicine and my ahernea is no joke painfull as can be. I just wanna feel better on a dialy basis really.
I certainly understand ya I take pain medication for my joints and back and for extremely high cholesterol that will not go down only when I lose weight then I have sleep apena I actually my tummy tuck done last February and it was suggested this past December that I have the sleeve done that will help with my health problems
When are you scheduled for your sleeve or are you going through the process still? I was scheduled for 4/27/2012 but there was a problem with the insurance paying for the phsyic evaluation. know i am set for sometime in may. i am still a little on the OMG side, but we will see i guess
Girl I am excited I hope to have mine done in mid July when I finish with the required nutrition class. The physic eval was one one the first thing I did. I have 3 more classes left. I can't wait. What you feeling is natural it's like butterflies in your stomach. I know the feeling. Did you have to do the liquid diet?
I do have to do the liquid diet. I find out on monday my exact date of the surgury. I started buyinh the protien shakes and soups and sugar free jelleo and pudding. those protien shakes are expensive. it's new and so much stuff to remember what to eat and what not to eat. i dread getting sick i mean. i know alot of people whom has had the surgury and some god and bad experience. my aunt OMG threw up like every time she drunk. i dont wanna be like, i think she just couldnt stop eating. lol, eating is also a mental thing as well. then i know someone else who had 2 bypass surgurys no mam i do not wanna be in that situation. but we will see i am exicited andscared at the same time. i only had 3 months of each the doc and the nutrionist. i guess different requirements for different states and insur. this is my second time going throught the requirements. in 2009 i backed out because i was scared. i hope i can take this pressure. lol
Yes you will be fine. Just know that this will benefit you and your health. We are going to stick together okay. I help you and you help me, lol. Seriously that liquid diet OMG. What kinds of shakes did you get? I want to start racking up now.
Also, i found out my surgery date yesterday it is MAY 18TH. I am so nervous i feel butterflies and everything else. know i am working on getting clearance from the cardio doctor and my primary doc.
lol, I am so glad i met someon who had a positive attitude about the whole situation. I agree let's stick together. lol Yes, the liguid diet it's going to be a time dont know how i am going to get through this one. I started buying muscle milk light. it was in my life before and after bariaric. it give you a list of all the do's and dont's and what to buy and what not to buy
I bought the muscle milk and I did not really like it. I thought it was hard to mix up even in a blender. So I have been sticking with slimfast. But i am going to explore other meal supplements shakes. I don't know if I am to make it through the liquid either. I don't have any choice, lol. I am excited for you May 8th....wow I can't wait for you...lol
Hey, i have some bad news well not really bad but i am in a changeing my mind mood. mostly because i just out the hospital with difficulty breathing . heart palpitations. i idi some testing and it came back negative for blood clauts or heart attack but i am so freaking scared know i dont know waht to do. muscle milk is not be mixed. it is already mixed u drink it straight. i bought muscle milk light it taste a littl;e better than the regular. i also bought slim fast but the nutrionist told me it had to much sugar in it so i did not drink iy. i bout slim fast, dr.atkins, and special k shakes but they were all to high in something or not enough something and the book i have life before and after baratric surgury specifically says do not drink those brands. so i do not know.
OMG the shakes that I seen online are expensive I will figure out something. I bought the big muscle milk that have to be mixed up. It is natural to have those feelings and it sounds like too me you are having anxiety attacks. Just keep in mind it is for bettering your current health situations. Take a deep breath and relax every time you get the feelings of wanting to change your mind think about the changes you will benefit from by getting it done. I'm here okay
awww, thanks for the concer. yes those shakes are mad expensive and for you to have to then put it in a blender adn mix it with what works for you is horrible. i rathr drink muscle milk seriously. it's already pre-made and all i have to do is drink it. please and by far it is the lease expensive per case. i go to sams to to purchase by the case. i pay $24.99 for a case of 18. so it's not that bade so, i spend $50.00 for 36 already made shakes and all i have to do is just drink it, rather hold my nose and drink it. yea, i have like 4 doctors appointments this week. wth the cardio and pulminary doc and 2 primary doc. i always like to get 2nd opinions thats why i have 2 primary doc clearing me for surgury so if 1 does not clear me then here is a problem no to mention i want the pulminary and the cardio to clear me as well. i just want to make sure if i do decide to go throughh with this surgury i will be okay others than the normal pain and expectations. i want to make sure i am doing the right thing. in so many words.
sorry about all my typos i can spell. lmao
I can certainly understand, especially with this being your first major surgery. Everything will go according to plan. You will have the best Dr in the room guiding the puppets which is God. I am going to check out Sam's club I've been meaning to get a membership anyway there anyway with all the household products I have to buy
yeah, i guess just waiting on all the test results to come back and we shall see, yes i say def check out sams club, they have some good rates
hey how are you? 9 have not heard from you in a while. hope you are okay. well, i was cleard by the lung doctor roday. i just need 3 more clearances and then i amall set for next week friday 5/18/2012. am i nervouse. nervous aint the word. i am a wreck.liquid diet tommorrow. dont know if iwill make it. lol
