Surgery May 3, 2011!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! My Name is Kristy and my surgery is scheduled for May 3, 2011. I'm very excited but also very nervous. I've been on the pre-op diet now for 8 days and I did really well my first 6 days, (losing 8 pounds) but the past two days I have stayed the same..so I'm getting alittle nervous that I won't hit the 15 pounds my surgeon requested that I lose. I have not cheated, but it is also almost that time of the month, so I'm hoping thats whats going on, but its just alittle frustrating. I'm am very excited about this new journey!!

Thanks for reading!

Congrats on you date! As I was reading your post, I was wondering (even before you wrote it) if you were getting close to TOM. Just keep following your doctor's instructions and everything will work out for you.

Hugs

Hi Kristy and welcome. I am being sleeved on the 3rd as well. I have been on my pre-op diet for 5 weeks and 2 of them were stalled, I have lost a total of 15 pounds on it and I am hoping that is enough for my surgeon. Maybe I will lose a few more before next Tuesday, TOM was an issue for me as well.

      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.
