Surgery W/ Dr. Ponce Excitement Vs Studying!



Recommended Posts

I need to study for my finals, still have to left but I cannot stop thinking about my upcoming surgery Thursday! I wish I could just stop thinking about it and concentrate in this last two finals! Then all of this stress is making me want to eat! I thankfully do not have a long liquid diet (only three days) but I have not been watching what I am eating very much today and it was supposed to be my first day. I guess since I am lower BMI and I am not eating things that greatly increase liver size I don't worry as much, but I should be following directions and I am not! Which makes me want to eat more. I really need to figure out what I am going to do about this emotional eating, soon! My surgery is in less than 3 days! Sorry for all the mumbling.

Thanks! My surgeon is actually in Mexico, dr. Ponce de leon, he actually taught Dr. Almanza (I see he is going to be your surgeon) how to do the sleeve and I believe he also did Dr. Almanzas sleeve. The twenty days will pass by really fast! I booked mine about 45 days ago and it all went very fast except for the last 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.
