Surgery Tomorrow! Finally My Big Day Has Arrived



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I'm so excited. I've waited for a little under a year. Finally the day has come, tomorrow I will be sleeved. I can't wait. I've been on clear liquid diet, and I'm fine. I'm just mentally and physically ready for this. I think I have everything, gas x strips, Vitamins, pillow, ect. So any tips, recommendations, thoughts, and prayers are appreciated as well as welcomed.

Good Luck Chitowngirl! I know you are excited. I just started my journey. I know it won't take me as long as it has you because I am self pay. My insurance has an exclusion in the policy for WLS. Bummer. I know I have no other choice but to pay for it. I've been over weight since I was 8, Lost and was a normal weight from 14 to 23 then gained it all back... lost more... gained it back... so on. Will say a prayer for you to do well! God Bless...

      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.
