Newbie. Scheduled for july 3 rd



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am new to the forum and scheduled for July 3rd due to personal time constraints. I am already freaking out and it is a month and a half away. Any suggestions. I don't know much of anything at this point except for the basics. Anyone else scheduled for July?

Don't freak! That's my advice. I was.scared too, so I know it's easier said than done. Use this time to get educated, prepared and comfortable. You'll do great! :)

I am scheduled for July 8th! I am also freaking out ... and I also know just the basics! I am nervous and excited. What's your pre-op diet like? Mine is three days of liquid. I can do that, no sweat!

      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.
