February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?



Recommended Posts

The month is definitely flying by. I just had my PAT this morning. I don't trust the hospital's scales and I'm looking forward to getting back on my doctor's scales at some point. The hospital's scale had me down from 350lbs to 321lbs. I've definitely lost some weight on the pre op diet, but I doubt that I've lost that much.

When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go' date=' to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? <img src='http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com//public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/animated_smilies/welcome.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':welcome:' />[/quote']

Dr. Kim did my surgery. I just had it on the 23rd. I am ready for the journey.

Had my surgery on 2/2/2012. No problems recovering but am a bit down now that I am 4 weeks out. Weight loss has slowed down to nothing. Anyone having this difficulty? How about a word of encouragement? Keep going everyone. No turning back!

Same here ! Losing slow or stopping here n there but I exspected it since I was a lower BMI but I guess that's better than not at all or losing 30 and gaining back 35 and never getting even close to what I want to weigh like I have the past 17 yrs. I guess slow n steady wins the race right????

You only have 15% of your original stomach (approximately). It can't NOT happen if you're being a good girl!! Just be patient. Avoid sliders, drink your Water, do your exercising ...it WILL happen!!

      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.
