Waiting And Starting To Get A Little Anxious



Recommended Posts

I started my process in September 2011

Initial Consult w/Surgeon- 9/2/11

sleep Study - 9/12/11

Initial Consult with Dietician -9/26/11

Nutritional Classes 9/29, 10/20, 11/17

Nicotine Test 11/22/11

Finally(had issues with the psychologist) Psych Eval 12/14

Now, i am just sitting around waiting on the phone to ring...I have been going to the gym and trying to eat a little better, but I am just assuming because of the holidays is why I haven't heard anything. Trying not to get nervous, but I could be just anxious; I also have been a YouTube addict watching Sleeve journeys and i am still encouraged about the process, however i am hoping to get word.

I am going tomorrow to try out some Protein shakes for my pre op diet. Anybody have any suggestions on good (if they even exists) Protein Shakes...

Hey there, sounds like you are very close to your surgery! I was soooo nervous before mine. I had it on December 20th, so I'm still getting used to it. Not sure if you are a member of a costco but they have a really good protien shake in chocolate and vanilla. Target has a few good options too. My surgeon had me on Optifast for an entire month before my surgery! It is so hard not to cheat! Good luck on your sleeve, and hope you hear something soon...

      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.
