I got my Date, Finally!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

My date is Wednesday August 18 with Dr. Hart in Georgia. I cant believe it's almost here. It's weird, Now that Im done getting all the insurance stuff over with and finally getting a date I feel weird JUST WAITING. For the past 7 months it seems like my weeks have been filled with appointments, phone calls and emails. This whole wls surgery thing just seems to peaceful right now. Maybe it's the calm before the storm. Anyone else feel this way?thumbup1.gif

Nah, I feel the same way. I still have some logistical stuff left over, just in terms of paying for the surgery, but mostly, I just have to wait at this point. It's weird, since I've already researched everything, so I'm just sitting on my hands.

First off congrats on your surgery date. I know what you mean. From the time of my first seminar to my surgery date it has been about 4 months. This included scheduling and going to appointments. Basically rearranging my life. It was kinda fun to me.

Now just waiting until my pre -op diet which starts on Aug. 3rd. I also have my EKG, chest X-ray, and lab work done on that day. My surgery is scheduled for Aug. 17th. I just want it to be over already. Actually can we fast forward 2 months. LOL.

Good luck to you and BlackBerryJuice.:001_tt2:

      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.
