Surgery On The 16Th.... Anyone Else??



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

With much insurance issues, problems with Iron levels and drama from the process I am so happy to say that on Thursday I will be officially on the other side of this process! I am both nervous and excited.... scared and eager.... and the emotions go on and on.... I have lots of issues with anesthisa and nausea so hopefully they aren't too difficult.

Anyone else having surgery on Thursday? I am pretty much flying solo on this one, besides my husband for support.... I wish everyone else lots of success and look forward to reporting as soon as I am out of surgery!

Thanks!!

Good luck! I have mine set for the 31st of this month and I'm scared and eager as well. Do you have any helpful hints and/or suggestions for the liquid diet? I start that this Friday..

I had an abnormal EKG and went to the Cardiologist twice for follow ups and they said I was fine and that sometimes some people just have very "mild" abnormal EKG's.. I hope your Dr. says the same :unsure:.

Well everyone... the time is ticking down now! I have been working so hard to make sure I do a perfect last few days of my diet, I had a few off days earlier on. I am excited to get this started and ready to go! I don't get my time to report until tomorrow so I am curious when I will actually have the surgery but am glad I am staying the night. Two little kids at home and a rough time with nausea so I am going to take the extra time they give me gladly!

Wishing everyone a great surgery tomorrow and Thursday! We will all do great! Please share with me your post surgery doings.... I'll need to hear from everyone as I start my journey!!

:rolleyes:

      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.
