Recommended Posts

Hi friends! I got my date! its 2/28/06 (FAT TUESDAY) ...too funny! Im so excited. I have my pre physical and nutrition calss this friday. I need to find out about my birth control pills, (if I need to stop) The nurse told me clear fluids 2 days before (what does this include), should i do longer? I really dont know what to expect, its seems to take 1 hour then I have no idea when i wake up in recovery. I herd they have you walking very soon. I know its really a new life for me and I do look foreward to being and feeling healthy. I just wish my dad was alive to see me bettering my life. My insurance was no problem at all. Thanks all for your support and i have learned so much from all of you

Congrats DAA! I also was on Clear liquids for two days prior to surgery. I was not walking, however, until 24 hours after the surgery. I was very sore. However, I did feel like myselft within a week.

Good luck on 2/28 :cool:

      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.
