Recommended Posts

What seems to have been taking forever is finally coming to an end. I got the magical call from the scheduler today and I will be sleeved on September 28 at 11:30 am. Time to get it into gear so my home is in order. I have 4 weeks from today...wow that is going to fly by!

Yay! Isn't it exciting? Mine is on the 19th... every time I see someone else announce their date it is like receiving mine over and over again! It still doesn't feel real yet though. I am oddly very calm about the whole thing.

I am pretty calm now about the whole situation (after the initial excitement and happy dance around the house). Once I have to start the pre-op diet is when the reality stick will hit me. Can't wait to start on my healthy journey!

So happy for you! You are so right. . . it will fly by. Mine is scheduled for Sept. 17th and that's all I can think about.

This is all I have been thinking about since January...more so since August 5 when my file was submitted to insurance!

      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.
