I Have A Date--And It's Next Week!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share that I went to my consult with the surgeon today and was scheduled for 2/9! :woot:So now I'm really excited and nervous--ish just got real! Ok, now I have to be about the business of telling my parents and brother, and in-laws (well, I know I don't have to tell people, but I will). The in-laws will be here this weekend, so I'll be doing all of the cooking and none of the good eating :) It'll all be worth it though--yaaay!! :Banane09:

I'm having my surgery that day as well, flying from Alaska to Seattle. It's so exciting but I can't help but be nervous at the same time.

Thanks, y'all! Had a dream last night that I was at this big delicious buffett and there was nothing that I was allowed to eat! It's funny cuz I felt pretty good last night after my first day of pre-op dieting--and my diet is a little more lenient than some I've seen. Guess my mind is trying to adjust already...

      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.
