Surgery from September 20th moved to September 16th!



Recommended Posts

I just got the call from my surgeon's office that they are switching my surgery 4 days sooner! I'm excited, but a little nervous! Has anyone had that happen to them? Thanks for your responds in advance.

I had my sugery moved from December 2, to September 2. They called me on Tuesday and asked if I could be there the next day. No time to get nervous. Good luck

Congrats! I had something similar... I called them to push it back a few weeks due to a work conflict and they pushed it forward a week and started my clear liquid diet right then! The bad thing was I didn't get any "lasts" (meal, diet coke, etc.). The good thing though was not having the worry that goes with that. All of a sudden it was there!

Good luck! I'm about 10 days out from surgery and feeling great.

If I could switch places with you I would. I want to get this big ball rollin' asap. Just think - you'll be 4 days closer to your goal. 4 days less liquid diet. Sounds 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.
