surgery scheduled



Recommended Posts

Good Morning Everyone! I just found out that my surgery is going to be scheduled for December 28! I have to go on a two week liquid diet starting on the 14th. That means no Christmas dinner for me. I am hoping it will be well worth it though. For those of you who were asking about the husband/wife team in Texarkana, I am using Dr. Keilin (the wife), and she seems really great. The lapband coordinator there (Betty) seems great, too. Everyone have a great day!!:)

Congratulations and I hope it all goes well for you!!! Sorry about the liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery, I didn't have to do that with Dr. Wellborn, but I did have to do it for 2 weeks after surgery. I didn't get to eat Thanksgiving, but hopefully the mushy stage will help me with Christmas and all those parties. Good luck and keep posting to keep us informed. Also, if your looking for some good Protein Shakes, I found some good ones at www.revivalsoy.com. They have a variety pack for @$15 and it has all of the flavors. They are really good. Darla

I'm sure it hasn't been an easy decision to make - but hopefully now that you've made it you can relax and dream of a better life ahead!

Where are you having the surgery done?

      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.
