Got my surgery date!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call today from my surgery place and my date is November 30th! I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. Lately I have been thinking of backing out. I know i am only hesitant because the surgery will hold me to standards that I don't hold to myself. That is the one reason I wanted the surgery. I can't cheat because everyone is watching me and weighing me and keeping their eyes on me.

But now I am wanting to back out because I want to be able to have cheat days and eat little things here or there. I know that sounds crazy, but I have lived so long like this it's hard to break the habit. I am not going to back out though I am going to do it. This is my time to get healthy and stay healthy.

I got off on a tangent there but anyways SURGERY on NOVEMBER 30th!! WOOHOOOOO

Thanks for reading this. =]

      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.
