March 2013 Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

hey FaithOnly looks like 3/11 is our day!! If i dont see my dr. till 3/5, there isnt a whole lot of time left for pre-op diet then right? Nothings been mentioned so far? does it have to do with your current build/weight? thanks

If I were you I would check with my dr because originally I was scheduled for the 2/27, but because when I got the call about being approved I was not told to do the pre op diet,therefor like you I thought the same and when I went to my pre op appointment I was told differently and they had to reschedule my surgery.

stephanieg89' date=' I told work that I was having surgery, but did not specify what kind. I don't think they can legally ask what surgery you are having, it would violate your right to privacy.

To everyone being banded in March, please know that you are in my prayers! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Not being required to do liquid, but think I will anyway, just due to ease. It will be difficult, as I still have a husband and five kids to cook for. I am thinking that I may be doing a lot of freezer cooking in the next two weeks!

Someone mentioned Peanut Butter powder...I would sure love to know where to get it!

Hang in there, everyone, our time is coming![/quote']

PB2 you can get it Hy-Vee in their organic department

I am new here and have a surgery date of March 4th. I started a two-week pre-op diet on Feb 18th, which for me is 4 Ideal Fast Protein Shakes for a total of 900 calories plus unlimited non-starchy veggies, raw or boiled or steamed, but no butter or oil on them. The first 5 days I was brutally hungry but now not so much!

Anyone else drinking the Ideal Fast shakes? They are so gross. I add abut twice the amount of Water and just choke them back. I hate sucralose!

      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.
