Name- Vickie Brown

Surgery August 13

Dr. Spaw in Nashville, TN

Age-:39

highest weight/current weight/ goal weight- 321/321/140

Anything else you'd like to share?

I recently graduated from nursing school and am working as an RN in ICU. I'm a little worried about my energy level post surgery, but hopefully things will be ok. I will have 3 weeks off before returning to work. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and am feeling very under-prepared. I don't like Slim Fast type drinks at all-- they make me gag. I'm pretty picky. I bought the nectar type Protein packets and plan to use those as much as possible. I'm also going to look around online and order some things. I should have done this earlier-- I know! I live in a small town with very few local options.

I had never really understood why people didn't want to tell others they were having surgery until recently. I told someone at work and she said "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??" in a really "I can't believe you'd even consider that" tone. Then today at church, a man who is super healthy and teaches spin classes was trying to tell my all of the reasons why I shouldn't have the surgery. He then texted me later and apologized, but really-- I'm a nurse. I know the pros and cons. I've been overweight all of my life. I've tried every diet out there. I've gone through phases where I worked out like crazy and still never got to what would be considered a healthy weight. I can see that he considers this drastic, but I have considered it all. :-/

So it turns out I'm missing my 10 year high school to get the sleeve instead. This is playing major head games with me, split between wanting to reunite with all my old friends, and wanting to hide under a rock embarrassed of what I look like. I guess that's what FB is for, so here's to a new me, and my 20 year reunion where I plan to have six pack abs.

      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.
