Am I too eager



Recommended Posts

I've started to pack my bag in preparation for surgery this past week. I'm going to mexico. My surgery is two weeks away (june 11). Is that too soon?;) do i need to relax, relate, release? lol

I don't think you are too eager. This is the beginning of a new life for you and you are just excited about it. Besides, starting the packing process now ensures that you won't forget anything like you might with a last minute packing. :)

I think it just means you're excited. Nothing wrong with that. I wish I only had 2 weeks. It's 5 weeks for me and I'm ready to start packing. I'll be going to Dr Alvarez. Which Mexico doc are you going with?

      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.
