May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

I have been watching TV the whole afternoon because today is my last "vacation day" before to come back to work tomorrow and I can not count how many food commercials I have seen!!!! I'm so happy that I'm not hungry at all with the band but media did affect me a lot before with all theirs cheese, double crust, etc commercials LOL, so my tip of the day for you pre-ops out there: do not watch TV!

My last day also, and thought the exact same thing! Im amazed at all the food commercials. I'm glad my appetite is still suppressed from surgery.

I'm pretty sure you can buy unflavoured powder Protein and mix it right into your Soup.< /p>

Yes, you can - I just bought some today that is flavorless, no added sweeteners etc. and you can just add it to whatever liquid you are consuming. I'm looking forward to having some with soup in the next couple of weeks instead of the yucky Protein Shakes from the surgeon's.... I will not miss them!!

Bb, I think it's terrible the your sisters will not support you! I myself have 2 sisters... And neither one of them want me to have this done either, because my one sister was heavy and lost a great deal if weight "the old fashion wat" she keeps telling me to do the sane! I've done that for years and yes it works for a few lbs n then all comes back! We are trying to get our selfs healthy, as I'm pretty sick and praying this will help! And my parents don't think it's a great idea but they will support me no matter what,, if you ever need to talk or vent, feel free to shoot me an email! Everyone here is great and a great support team!

It is so true!! I'm in college and during my pre-op diet I realized how much food is everywhere!! Everyone's drinking Starbucks, eating pizza, skyline, and the list goes on.. I never noticed the food until I was on my pre-op diet, it sucks but it gets easier!! The commercials are also horrible. Every other commercial is a pizza place, my favorite food!!! Lol

Hi everyone, I went to my general practioner today because my eye sight has been blurry since the surgery last Monday. Turns out I am dehydrated So, I am just putting this out there for everyone...make sure you drink your fluids and try to take in everything they tell you post surgery!

Good Luck and God Bless to those who are in surgery today..

      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.
