February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?



Recommended Posts

Man, time is flying by. I just completed my last hurdle, which was my upper GI. I'll soon have my big pre-surgery class and then I'll have to go on the Optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to my surgery.

Best of luck to all of the February Sleevers (and all the others as well).

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly on 2/23. I'm excited but scared because I'll be by myself. Anyone else going to Mexico around this time?

Husband and I had our surgery yesterday morning. 2week pre-op liquid diet gave us incredible results. He was down 27 lbs and me, 20. I had them double check because I thought the scale was off. It was perfect. So, we both felt very encouraged going in to the surgery.

We are on liquids for 3 days, then purée for 4 days, then mushies. Super Bowl feast at our house will be cream of wheat and strained cream Soups and yogurt. Sounds wonderful to me!!!

Surgery, a bit of nausea but very little, some pain but never over a six..we had good drugs. First shower tomorrow!!!

How are the other Feb. sleevers that had surgery this week??

      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.
