Finally Got My Surgery Date.....



Recommended Posts

I go in July 18 & I'm feeling almost every emotion at this point I'm happy, excited, anxious, scared, & super nervous! They didn't really give me much of a pre op diet to follow but, I do have to replace 1 meal a day with whey Protein isolate shakes which tastes as if it's something you are NOT supposed to drink YUK I mean it's not impossible to drink but, only because I have to I'm not loving it but, I'm quite sure I will love when I start seeing a difference in how I feel and how I look.....

Chrissym it's taken me almost a year so far. It's been quite frustrating but it will be worth it once you have the date. And then once those pounds start coming off you will see it was worth it. I too do not have an official date yet. Still working on my last couple of clearances.

Yes it does feel like a long process but, like u said it is definitely worth it I can imagine it would be really frustrating waiting almost a year but, I just look at it like its a start into a new life I been waiting almost all my life to lose all my weight what's a few more months or couple of years to get to my goal weight?! Good luck to u on the rest of your journey!

Chrissym it's taking so long because I had to go for the 6 months of checkins with my dr then I had to wait for my insurance company to authorize the surgery before I could even start the clearances. Now that I have the authorization things are moving along very quickly. I will hopefully have a date within the next couple of weeks.

      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.
