Getting Ready For Surgery On June 11Th!



Recommended Posts

Mowed the yard and cleaned my house this morning. Also brushed the dogs up too, trying to get everything ready for my surgery on June 11th. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am on Monday June 11th. Getting things ready to pack to take with me also. Nervous and excited both. Calm though. My Mom is coming over tommorrow to take me to the hospital on Monday morning and then take care of my dogs at my house and stay with me after I am released hopefully on Wed. evening. I plan on taking my cell phone and lap top to the hospital with me so I will try to post as soon as I am able to. I was told I would be up and walking 4 hours after surgery so around 1pm on Monday I can't believe the day is finally arriving! I started this process in Feb and it has went fast. I have lost 46 pounds so far pre op and wanted to hit a goal of 50 lost by surgery day, 4 more to go. I hope I can still hit that goal.

So happy I found this supportive group!

      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.
