Having surgery oct 31



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes: To tell you the truth i am more fearfull of the flight than i am the surgery. I am so not sure what to even expect..I have read so many things from this site. Most very good others well not so good. I was unable to find any one to go with me so i am glad to know that there is others that will be there at the same time. However not so happy that it relly sounds like the way they do things is for the money and push as many thru as they can. I can see why however i wonder if this is a bad thing that could cause errors, I work in the medical filed and so i will make sure it is known if i am in pain and nothing is being done about it. I have already seen my doctor here in the us to make sure i am healthy in her eyes and that she does not see any thing wrong with it, She also told me should would look into the place and let me know if she hears any thing bab. I was wondering i seen a lot of people with "tickers" on the bottom of the page that track wieght loss... how can i get one of those.

Here's a great explanation ("ticker tutorial") of how to get a ticker from tickerfactory.com that Li'l Miss Diva made for us

Good luck to you on the 31st! I've read many positive stories from folks who've gone by themselves to get sleeved - based on those, I'd say you should do just fine.

      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.
