Got a date yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I got a date yesterday! Mine is scheduled for January 14 and I am very excited. I had tried to do the band a couple of years ago and even had the surgery scheduled and then my insurance denied me. My parents are now paying for mine and I can hardly believe it is this close! I have decided to do the sleeve and I really think it is the right choice for me.

I'm glad it's all worked out for you. Good luck on these last few weeks...you'll be sleeved and losing before you know it!

The surgeon's office just called and they have pushed back my date to January 28th. I can't say that I am not disappointed but at least it is not canceled. I just need to stay focused on my diet for a couple of more weeks.

      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.
