Surgery July Buying House In Sept



Recommended Posts

My date for surgery is July 10. I am looking at buying a house, and closing in September. It would mean moving in September. I am wondering if this may be too ambitious a goal to close and move in September. I am starting to feel anxious about the surgery, and this house buying is adding an other level of excitement, and stress. Has anyone had a similar experience? What do those of you who have had the surgery already have to say about my situation?

If you have help to pack, move, and unpack, it would be okay probably. However, if you aren't planning on having a good deal of help, I would try to postpone the move. I know everyone is different with recovery. I think my recovery has been pretty easy so far. I will be 4 weeks out on Monday. I'm feeling better and being more active every day, but I wouldn't see myself being ready to move at 8 weeks out.

I certainly haven't been in those shoes, but it seems like you will be healed enough by then to do fine. I am a Realtor in Washington State, so I commend you on your wise choice to buy a home now before the prices go up any more than they have! Best of luck on your surgery AND home buying!

      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.
