Anyone else having surgery with Dr. Aceves over the 4th of July weekend?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone else will be having surgery by Dr. Aveves on the 4th of July weekend? I have finally convinced my husband it is safe to go there and have scheduled the vsg surgery.:thumbup: I arrive on the 2nd of July and leave on the 6th, and am wondering if I will be seeing anyone else from this board there.

Cool, I will probably see you there then. On an unrelated topic, I'm a mom of three also, but they're not all girls.

Well, I will definately see you both there. I just bought the plane tickets and sent the $500 deposit to Dr. Aceves to reserve my surgery date. I can't believe I'm really going to have this surgery!!! I am soooo excited, I hope June zips by.

      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.
