March 2013 Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for surgery on the 20th and am on day 2 of the pre-op diet. food is all I think about! At least I am allowed 4-6oz of lean meat if I need to feel the chewing sensation. Also 4-6 shakes per day.

I am excited for sure!

My update:

I was banded first thing this morning so I'm only around 6 hours out. They repaired my hernia too. I have been home for almost 5 hours. I'm only a little sore. Mostly at the port site. But the pillow helps that when coughing and moving.

And I am keeping fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones because I have had minimal gas pain so far. I have my gas ex and heating pad for the little bit that I do feel.

Yay! I'm official now! :)

March 15th surgery date here. 1 week into the liquid diet and it's NOT THAT BAD!!! You can do it!!! I've found it's helpful to stay busy (obviously) and go to bed earlier so that you don't have a chance to get hungry late at night.

1 week to go and counting!!

March 14 here. Already had pre op testing and a little bump in the road with an abnormal EKG but I saw a cardiologist and I'm good to go for surgery. I start my 3 day pre op diet on Monday. I was nervous but now I'm just excited! Any advice on what bariatric Vitamins everyone is taking or what the best kind are?

Well day 4 of 14 on my pre-op diet, I am down 7lbs! Afternoons are harder for me but those numbers on the scale are motivation! I am really getting excited! Today I am full of energy and spunk. Hope everyone is healing well and my fellow pre-opers... We got this, just a bump in the road!

      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.
