Surgery Date August 30!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited!! the surgery was approved on Friday and found out yesterday that it will be on the 30th, less than 2 weeks away!! From first appointment to surgery is a few days of a month. I am nervous but I am ready to start this journey! I have alreay started keeping a journal and included the feelings that I despise right now that will keep me motivated and on track.

HEY mine is also the 30th i am so excited, i am not loving the 2 week liquid diet, its pretty hard to do, but so going to be worth it, hope everyone has a safe surgery and a quick recovery , see you on the other side...........

Don’t waste your life wishing for someone else’s. Embrace yours and do the most you can with it.

      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.
