Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

So...I'm done with all my pre op stuff. I weighed in 1 pound less than my doc wanted me to be, passed my eval, and turned in my tests. Now, my file was sent to my Doctor for review and then the scheduler will call me.

SERIOUSLY? Is my life really about to change? Is evrything Ive been hoping for and working so hard for actually coming together???

Im scared/excited.

Just had to get that out!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I'm really excited. I'm also very scared. I've never had an operation and I keep stressing on all the things that could go wrong.

I have gallstones though, so I'm going to have to have surgery regardless. Why not get them both done at once huh? ;)

I'm still not familiar with this site & how to get all the cool banners and stuff, but I'm going to learn. I hope...I love to write and I love to share so as soon as I get my computer up & running again, I'm going to be on here regularly and I'm going to blog about my entire journey. I know it's going to get emotional, raw feelings will be exposed and all tHat good stuff. But all in all, I want to help anyone the way your guys' posts and feedback has helped me.

Well..it's 3am I have to be up at 5 for work, and I cNt sleep. Awesome huh? Haha. I have to have a chest x ray and an EKG done and then it's just about getting a date! I'm going to do those things either Thursday or Friday and then I'm going to be pro active (bug a boo) and call the scheduler

:D

Thanks again everyone, feel free to contact me, and I'll keep you posted!!!

Ali

      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.
