The Countdown BEGINS!



Recommended Posts

After being DENIED, and then reconsidered my surgery date is VERY close.

Friday was my last day of work until 2011. And, I will be SLEEVED on December 20th!

I thought once I started my Pre Op Diet it would all seem real. But, it wasn't until the nurse called on Friday that it became REALLY real.

I bought all my Vitamins. I bought some stuff for afterwards.

I've packed my bag, cleaned the house.

And, now I wait!

:)

Monday December 20th, at 1:30 I will be SLEEVED!

Thanks to everyone who posts here who has helped me so much in deciding I wanted the sleeve.

And, a SPECIAL thanks for Tiffykins who has been AMAZING!

Congrats!!! My surgery was dec 13th at 1:20pm. I got there early, around 10am...we live about 2 hours from the hospital, and someone decided to be a no-show so they moved my surgery up to 11:20! So I know how you feel about the late surgery time. That day goes by super fast though. Good luck!

      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.
