Freaking Out About Todays Appointment



Recommended Posts

I have been up since 245...couldnt sleep at all. I see the surgeon for my second pre-op appt with Surgeon, my surgery is in 2 days. I have followed my liquid diet with only one cheat (a dinner biscuit) back on my first day. However, im panicking that surgeon will come up with some reason to postpone my surgery...ive read a few stories on here of people who have gone through the liquid diet, and for one reason or another the doc would postpone it.

she didnt give me a certain amount of weight to lose or anything, but i have lost a couple pounds, and I still have today and tomorrow of just liquids. So im not sure what she could possibly use as a reason to postpone it,,but i still cant help but worry. ugggh

I think being anxious is part of the process. My surgery is set for Thursday and I am also anxious. If I were you, I'd keep doing what your doing and maybe try to loose what you can...I can't help but think that it will help after the procedure is finished.

Don't worry...you'll do great and he/she will be so happy with your progress.

So i have lost anohter 6 lbs, down total of 13..Surgeon was verrry happy with that..i told her my concern, she felt around where my liver is and said she doesnt feel anything that would cause concern..said it is always possible it may be a little enlarged, but she has no reason to think it would be so bad that they cant do the surgery :D

between the good news with the numbers on the scale..and her telling me that...i am on cloud nine...Thursday cant get here fast enough.

      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.
