Pre-op Surgery June 14th



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is June 14th. I've been on the liquid diet (slimfast) since May 17th. I'm allowed 4 shakes a day and any non calorie beverages. It's not been easy but I'm proud of myself for sticking to it! 4 weeks is a long time, but I'm almost half way there! When I was 18 I had a benign liver tumor and there is a small chance that my band won't be able to be placed b/c of scar tissue. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated! I will be devastated if it can't be placed. My husband and I want a baby so bad and I have PCOS unless I lose weight I prob won't be able to get pregnant...so lapband is my chance to lose this weight and be a healthy mommy!

Prayers! Hang in with the liquids! I would never ever have believed that I could do the 6 week pre-op liquid diet my surgeon required (plus the post-op time). If you can do 2 weeks, you can do 4! You have a lot to gain!

      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.
