Then it should count for the last 3 months as long as your doctor was keeping the records for it! That means only 3 more months! Make sure you dong skip a month though.

Did you just weigh in? Or did they have you on a diet?

All I have eaten today

Oh yuck! I hope you feel better. This pre-op diet is really screwing with my body so I know the feeling. -

Nean4488 replied to Nean4488's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first day of my pre-op diet was horrible. I had the worst headache, i felt weak, tired. The whole first week I was tired but that has gone away. I mean of course when my brother comes home with mexican food at 11 at night I want to eat it, but not because im hungry just because I want it! Im trying to eat more today. its so hard drinking my shakes and my stomach is so full to the point where it hurts. It will get better I promise! Im ready for mushies though! -
I am on for the 17th. The 2 week all liquid diet hasnt been too bad for me. Mothers day BBQ was rough and then when my brother brings home mexican, my favorite hot dog and fries, ice cream and cookie dough at night is when it gets hard!!! Its almost over , its almost time!

The first thing I did was meet with my surgeon, I didnt have to fill out any paper work, they took care of that all for me. The timeline is in my sig if your interested, but it all varies from what kind of insurance you have.

Im so happy i am allowed caffeine. I was told to stay away from it if it makes me hungry. Ive been drinking tea and today I got a skinny vanilla latte from starbucks! But i do hope you get to have surgery on the 17th!!! Its my date too :-) -
I have been on the depo-shot for about 3 years now and havent had my period in about 2. Yesterday there was a bit of spotting and the only thing I can crack it up to be is because of the pre-op diet.

Nean4488 replied to wannabesmall09's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My pre-op diet sounds just like yours! I read too much also and was like omg i wont be able to have surgery! All preop diets are different, some even get to eat low carbs high Protein (so jealous of those people). Some surgeons dont even require a preop diet. As long as your following what your dr told you too, I think you will be fine! -

Nean4488 replied to Stacey627's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Nean4488 replied to Stacey627's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on your surgeon. It amazes me that your surgery is so close and you have no idea what and when your allowed to eat what. My doctor allows me mushies the 2nd and 3rd week post op and then on to real food the 4th. I would call them up and find out. -

Nean4488 replied to Nean4488's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im getting the daily amount of Protein im suppose to. If I drink 5 shakes a day I would be getting 150g of protein just from the powder alone. I was told that im allowed to add those things into my shakes... idk anymore :-/ ... guess ill just cross my fingers and see how it turns out monday. -

Nean4488 replied to Nean4488's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Theres no way I can eat 4-5 shakes a day and all the Water they want me to drink. I would be drinking all day and then to the bathroom every hour. Im hoping that losing the weight is shrinking my liver :-/ -
I have a 2 week all liquid diet. Before that i had about a week full of last Breakfast, lunches, and dinners! lol I gained 6 pounds doing that... i was mad, but ive lost it since.

I dont get banded for a week but I joined! -
One day isnt that bad, I read your story of why you did it though and that was really nice of you! I get banded next monday.. when I was picking my date I could have done it today but I kinda freaked out and chose a week later. LOL i think now, wow it could have been done already! BUt thats ok... im hoping this week flies by, im trying to keep super busy :-) Make sure you let me know how surgery went , just dont scare me!

My surgeon told me when its time for mushies, mash potatoes would be good, but be careful once you are allowed to eat normal and done healing that you dont overdose on the mash potatoes, they arent that healthy for you!

WOW, I'm pumped!! Surgery in June.

Congrats on getting a date! -
feeling down and unmotivated in months leading to surgery date
Nean4488 replied to Hephania's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I understand where you are coming from. Although it doesnt seem as bad as yours, but I hate going out. I do go to school and work though, school sometimes suck when those little desks are in the room that i barely fit in! But I do hate going out anywhere because i always think people will be looking at me and judging me and talking about me. It has gotten worse since I knew I was getting this surgery, i seemed to also push everyone out of my life, telling myself that it doesnt matter now cuz one day ill be skinny and ill have lots of confidence and I can make new friends... It does suck and I wish I had something to make you feel better but I dont :-( -
Questions!!! Cost, band type?
Nean4488 replied to jingleboob's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance pays 80% also and I am paying 2k out of pocket for the surgery and then whatever the hospital charges me. -
Good Luck! Keep us posted!

Countdown to surgery and beginning of pre-op diet
Nean4488 replied to palmtreegirl70's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks guys! The first time the liquid diet has been tough was yesterday at mother days BBQ... i never wanted a salad and some grilled chicken so badly! haha Only one week left... just trying to stick with it and stay busy. -
It all depends on your income I believe. At the time I applied I applied for 4k and was only working part time at 10/hr. I was approved for that much, even though I only needed 2k. You dont need to accept it if you dont want to , but it wont hurt to see how much you can get approved for.
