Date finally set 4/21



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

Haven't posted anything till now, just reading and taking in everything everyone is saying.

Been a member and reading for the last 5-6 months - this seemed to take forever to reach this point.

Everything seemed to be set a month apart. I go tomorrow for an extended 3 hour pre-surgical nutrition then pre-admission tests after that.

My surgery date is 4/21 lots of emotions all at once, but after 45 years of being overweight.

Chubby uniforms, bigger sizes, just seeing and hearing the people at the support group meetings is Awesome! It'll be great to just not carrying all this weight around! Lots of effort to put forward, but I can see that light now.

Good luck to everyone!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
