July 8th Surgeon Appiontment



Recommended Posts

I will be seeing my surgeon on July 8th to go over what test I need to retake since I did not go through with my surgery last year. I don't have to wait 6 months since my insurance company said that my 6 month diet was good for two years and I am still with in a year of the diet so I can just move to the testing. I started to do liquid Protein drinks two days of the week so that I can get use to drinking my meals. I have lost 11 pounds in the last two weeks and I am not as hungry as I use to be. I am looking forward to talking to the surgeon and getting back on schedule to having my surgery. I am still nervous, but I know that this is something that I need to do for myself and that it will be a life change with a positive change to my life.

Always looking to meet people and build friendships along the way so if anyone ever care to chat please feel free to message me anytime. Frank from Pittsburgh

I wish you luck Franco. I just had my surgery a week ago and I was so nervous before I thought I would have a panic attack before I was wheeled into the OR. After i felt silly because the procedure is so quick and not as bad as I thought it would be. Let us know how everything goes!

Thank you for the words of confidence. I had the panic attack a few days before my surgery last year. It would have been a year July 29th that I was going to have my surgery, but I worked my self up so much that i called it off. I'm doing much better this time I know I will still be nervous, but I am trying to talk to as many people as I can so that I can educate myself. I wish you the best of lock in your recovery you will have to let me know how things are progressing for you. Sincerely, Frank

      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.
