October Surgeries!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I couldn't wait any longer. I have to see who else is scheduled for October. The closer it gets the more I'm looking forward to the surgery. Well, not the actual surgery.......but you understand what I mean. Is anyone going to have surgery in Tijuana on the 11th? I'm looking forward to possibly meeting someone from the message board during my trip. I know that I will be at the same recovery house that is used by Dr. Almanza. I keep thinking about all of the NSV's I'm looking forward to happening. I swear everyday I think of a new one. Today's is .....looking forward to not being so sweaty all of the time. :001_tongue:

I am having my sleeve done in Burbank, CA on October 7. Maybe we could plan to take a little trip to Mexico together for tummy tucks in a few years!

I feel the same exact way. I am always hungry now and I don't even pay attention to the calories. There's always a little thought in my head that I will continue that and that a day before I will find out I was denied. I plan on curbing my activities about 2 weeks before: exercise and dieting.

Hi

I have already started my pre-op diet as I have to do mine for 6 weeks. I am really struggling at the moment !!! I have so got to get my head in gear as making the liver smaller for the op is best thing. I did make a 'goodbye' and tried to say goodbye to all the things I love and now I am having what I can only describe as panic eating ... I wish there was a way to 'fix' my brain !!!!

Any tips ???

Take care

Sue

I am planning on having my surgery in late September (23rd ish) or early October which is more likely like the 7th of Oct. I'm just waiting on my passport to arrive and then I'll be gtg. I'm going to Dr. Aceves. Anyone else going to Mexicali at that time?

im glad im not the only one that feels like they need to eat eat eat... before surgery!... but its a terrible feeling.. i have made the decision that next monday is when i will start the preop diet.... it will give me two weeks roughly til my surgery on the 1st... ugh.. im sorta dreading it.. but i know when i start that part.. i will be that much closer to the date... Im also keeping this from my family aside from my husband who is 100% behind me so i am getting nervous on how to keep this from them

      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.
