Going In Tomorrow At 7Am!



Recommended Posts

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to post something for a couple of reasons, one) this website has been super helpful the past few days, teaching me things I didn't even know I had to know, and giving me tips about things I wouldn't have even thought about. two) I just found out a few hours ago what time I have to be at the hospital tomorrow and for the first time since I found about about my date, I actually feel pretty nervous! But that might just be the anxious side of me trying to take over. Either way, good luck to everyone else going in tomorrow!

Good luck. And mine is next week. How did u get thru the 9 day liquid diet? Today was my first day and I missed meat really bad. I could not even drink 4 of the shakes. Tomorrow wil be better. I never imagined the " head games" I would play with my self. Is this the hardest part? I hope so. Well 8 days now.

Good luck to all of you. I am 5 days post op and doing fine. Its a great joirney. I'm not going to weigh myself until my 2 wk post-op visit to the Dr. They pump a lot of fluids into you and it can hang around a bit.

I had to do mine for two weeks at three shakes a day, and it was really hard! I won't lie and say I didn't slip up here and there, but it was always tiny because anything more than a bite of something I knew I wasn't supposed to be having made me feel guilty but my head was totally more crazy than I thought it would have been but it got a lot easier I think as the days went on! The shakes got a little worse though, I was starting to just get sick of the taste after a few days but I found that adding more or less Water or ice really helped with that. Good luck though! Keep busy! I think if i kept a little more busier than I did it would have been ten million times more easier.

I'm also going to surgery in less than 6 hours. I am a nervous, scared, excited wreck if that makes any sense. I made the choice to be open about my surgery . Shocker of the day my boss tried to stage an intervention and encourage my coworkers to try and talk me out of it at the last minute. I was too thru! I know he means well but respect my decision. Goodluck we can track our results together

I know you will do splendidly. Sending light your way.

      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.
