May 9! It's really happening!



Recommended Posts

I got a call this morning and learned my insurance was approved. WOOT! And they can schedule me for May 9 surgery. That's less than 2 WEEKS AWAY! OMG! And to top it off I don't have to do a yucky liquid pre-op diet (I get more specifics of what I do need to do next week).

I just need to get my Iron supplements and I'll be good for Vitamins. I have to clean house (My mother is coming down for a few days to help). I have to stock up on supplies. Oh My Goodness! So much to do! Thanks to everyone who's been so supportive on this forum.

I'm so excited! I can do this!

Hooray WOOT WOOT! Welcome to the Red Velvet Gang of May sleevers.

I am on day three of my liquids. Yuck. Tonight the hunger hit. Be glad you do not have to do it! It is har knowing that I do 11 more days of this and then surgery. I especially miss savory things.

      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.
