Anyone Else Have A Surgery Date In July? Excited And Terrified!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for July 31st. I am scared, nervous but very excited. I am ready to start my new life of good health. I am ready to be without my insulin pump. I am ready to live life as I used to when I was not as heavy. I am not so afraid of the pain. I just want to be a sucess. I have the drive to do this and I have worked hard so far and have vowed to continue on this life long journey. On the countdown :D

You and I was sleeved the same day & I am down 45 lbs. I also stalled for three weeks. I am a slow loser maybe if I would stay away from soft foods. My bday is next Thursday and I would love to be at 200. I was 205 last week and today I went up 2 lbs. So disappointed.

I am having the same issue. I thought I would have lost alot more by now- sleeved July 17. But I'll take my 50!! Still painful to eat... not in my stomach, but in the back of my throat, food just doesn't want to go down. I had it checked thinking I had some kind of obstruction but after a CTScan, sonogram and a sadistic doctor ramming a metal rod up my nose & down my throat (worst pain EVER), they couldn't find anything. Still having trouble drinking too- Water & milk both make me nauseous now- used to LOVE them. About the only thing I'm able to tolerate well, and have become addicted to, is shaved sno-cone style ice. I crave it like nothing I've ever craved before. I can think of worse things to crave!! :)

      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.
