It's really happening! Surgery date sep 10



Recommended Posts

After months of research and doubts I finally got a date: SEP 10 with Dr. Cure in Barranquilla (Colombia). I am going alone since hubby has to stay with the kids. I fly back 4th day post-op so that is a little scary. Leaving my two babies behind for a whole 5 days is even scarier (silly me).

Now....................try explaining your 130lb boss that you need a week off for WLS :thumbup1:.

I have lost 7 lbs in the last two weeks which has been hard..............I've been hungry most of the time but at least my body will be better prepared for surgery. I still plan on having a BIG piece of cake at some point before surgery.

Overall I'm exited. I will probally miss eating large servings of the foods i like but once the smaller cloths in my closet (that i havent worn in years) start to fit nicely I will forget all about that stinking food.

Well, that's all for know. Thank you all for being part of this amazing sleeve family.

LOVE

Yay - You have A date. I also went alone. I didn't want to feel like I had to keep my husband company while I wasn't feeling well. The flight was ok, a bit cramped. I returned on the 4th day post op. Best wishes on the pre-op diet. It sound like you are already doing good.

      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.
