Question to you all



Recommended Posts

I have had some minor complications, if you could even call them that. Mostly just my body and I learning to get along again in a different nutritional enviroment.

I would do it 100 times again. Honestly.

Would absolutely do it again. My first two months were hell - but I'd never want to go back to that kind of hopelessness and constant trying of the past. Happy I had it done, and have sent my brother & my best friend to Dr. Aceves.

I'm down 50 pounds and can focus on something besides my weight!

Hi bigdd,

I guess you are in Mexico having your surgery today. I am sending prayers and good wishes. I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Alvarez also on Dec 8th so I am really looking forward to hearing about your experience. Take Care.

Hi Lucygoose

Bigdd had surgery today at 9 a.m. and was back in the room by 10:10, he has pretty much slept the afternoon away but woke up around 4:30 -coherent. He says so far he is in no pain. The nurses are 100% nice. Tomorrow he is to get up and start walking. The Dr's and the Anestesiologist are also very nice - :) :thumbup:

That is awesome. Tell him hi for me, we PM'ed each other a lot when he was in his waffling stage a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait till it is my time next month.

      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.
