I'll find out my date today



Recommended Posts

In a few hours I will have my first consultation with my surgeon. When his coordinator setup the appointment she told me that I will be picking my date today. WOW. I'm very eager.

3/1 was the earliest they had available, so I booked it!

Now to make arrangements for work... I'm supposed to be in Tampa the week of and the week after. I'm sure moving the work dates won't be an issue, but still - go figure.

I have a feeling I am going to be even more thankful than I already am that my boss is such an advocate for flexcible work arrangements & telecommuting. :)

Oh, the bad news... man, getting weighed there was d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-n-g! There was a 20 lb. difference between their scale (the higher) and PCP's scale! I was really caught of fguard with "sticker shock" for a while!

Sorry about the Sticker Shock. Try to remember that the scale is in insidious liar, anyway. Think Non scale Victory... The scale just gives you a number. How your clothes fit, and how you fit into the world, actually have an impact on your life - TOTALLY independent of what the scale happens to say, today.

Congrats on getting your date!!

:]

Congrats on getting your date! It does figure that you'd have to move a bunch of stuff around, but it'll be worth the hassle! :)

      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.
