The call that I've been waiting 7 months for



Recommended Posts

I got a call from my surgeons office yesterday with my surgery date...........Sept 2. I don't really know how I feel right now, I'm sure in the days and weeks to come I will feel many different emotions. :(

I feel the same way. I have been approved for VSG on the 24th of November. I feel like its forever and now I am second guessing myself. I feel like a loser because I cant lose the weight in the gym and these emotions have been making me eat more. I am also a little depressed/scared about not being able to eat as much anymore. I love to snack and am not sure if I have the will power to stop.:svengo:

Congrats on the call, that is wonderful news. It is normal to feel scared, excited, leery and just about any emotion under the sun. Just make a list of pros vs cons and I think you will end up with a smile on your face. Don't forget to add the fact that your insurance is covering it to your pro list, there are so many people here that don't have that option or like myself I have the coverage but I don't meet medical need requirements.

      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.
