Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, My name is Queen and I am very excited and scared to say that I have been approved by my insurance and my date is April 16th. Dr. Carter is my surgeon and I am excited about my future. This battle of the bulge has been with me for the majority of my life. I know have children and a husband that I want to live forever with. God bless everyone on this forum for all of your inspirational messages and good wishes. My date is right around the corner. Are there any tips you have for me????:smile2::thumbup:

Congrats on getting a date! I'm scheduled for april 14th so I don't have much veteran advice for you but hopefully with our dates being so close I can provide some encouragement! Almost time for a brand new life.

Ohh Queen I can relate!! I have already considered holding off for one last attempt at weight loss on my own! Any kind of 'invasive' scares me laproscopic or not but its for the greater good! These stories on here are very encouraging every time doubt surfaces so this is all I've been doing since I set the date Thursday. I'm a few days ahead of you so ill be sure to let you know how it goes & what helped for me! Support & research are essential!

      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.
