Wow - Finally Got My Date - October 16Th



Recommended Posts

Having surgery next month on Tuesday October 16th with Dr. Kuri. Kind of scary to be honest ....but I've researched him and the facility enough to know everything is top notch. My brother lost over 270lbs with the lapband and I"ve researched this forum for 2 years...so I feel at ease with this decision.

I still can't believe I'm going to Mexico to get this surgery. It's the IMAGERY OF THE THING....that is hard to overcome. I'm sure many of my family and friends think I'm nutso....but that is ok (lol).

But I know where my head is at (used to run 15 miles a week and be extremely disciplined) but life just hit me....and stressed me out to a point where I've gained 90 lbs (originally 205 in 2005 and now weight 295). I'm 38 and not trending very well....AND I'M NOT PRIDEFUL TO ADMIT...that I need a tool to help reduce this weight.

Let your mercy, wisdome, courage and grace cover and guide me Lord :)

      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.
