OMG! OMG! OMG! Wishes has a date!



Recommended Posts

To continue where my title left off.... OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I am so ecstatic right now. I really think I could just burst.

It has been a really long six months, and I was really starting to get worried that I would not get the date I wanted, September 1st. But everyday I gathered confidence and kept my hopes up that it would happen by reading through everyone else's struggles and triumphs, and wished and wished and wished it would happen for me. AND IT DID.

I am just so happy, thank you everyone so much for being a part of this with me. I only have 21 days left in the waiting, and I am so excited. You know? I know I can tackle this. VST has my back.

So on September 1st at 8:00 a.m. I am heading up to Jacksonville for pre-op testing and then at 11:30 a.m. I have surgery. I will make sure to keep everyone updated. :)

I am with Dr. Steven Webb at Memorial Hospital. UHC has not approved St. Luke's Hospital as a OptumHealth COE.

Thank you so much everyone. I don't know what I would do without you all.

      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.
