Worried About My Preop Appointment Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery Aug 1st. My preop appointment is tomorrow, my doctor asked me to lose 15 pounds, I lost 11.4. I tried my best worked out every day sometimes twice a day at the gym. Kept a log on my fitness pal and stayed under goal every day. I had mostly Protein food and no junk, never drank my calories expect when I drank my Protein Shakes. Im so worried that this will still not be good enough. Please pray for me.

I think its enough. Especially since you have been exercising, building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so you probably have lost more than you think and gained some good muscles! No worries :)

Thank you I even got a print out from my gym that shows my check in times. I'm proud to say I haven't missed a day since we signed up. They should have perfect attendance awards at the gym.

I think you'll be fine. You can only control weight loss so much. It sounds like you've been doing everything right, so I can't imagine they will turn you away with proof that you've been complying with their instructions.

      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.
