My Surgery Scheduled For May 10Th



Recommended Posts

Hello, Im new to this website. i actually just kinda came across it tryna find some lap band stories and i must say u guys seemed pretty supportive.im scheduled for surgery on May 10th and I started my clear liquid diet today. Ive had a Protein Shake this morning and Water. Im terried that i might get hungry later this is almost the scariest part to me. To go from eating bad to eating nothing...Im goin to get thru it tho with some supporters. I need this surgery bad i have a severe case of sleep apnea which has gotten worse wit the weight increase. I also broke my ankle last year and i gained weight just sitting around wit my leg proped up. The doctors said my leg healed fine but wit all the weight it sometimes bothers me. I have a 18month old son that i cant run and play with because i really cant breathe. So i knew i had to do something, Being only 29 and having to sleep wit a breathing machine was not attractive at all to me. So here i go on my new journey trying to stay positive and look at the brighter side of things. i must say tho im am gettin a lil nervous the closer the date gets.. But i think ill do ok..

      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.
