Sept Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

Hi' date=' I'm scheduled for Sept. 11th! I started my liquid diet on August 14 and I'm so proud that I haven't cheated at all. Only 6 more days and I'm getting nervous. I have a 9 month old and 3 year old. Anyone else with lids?[/quote']

Since mid August?? That's nuts! Hope you don't mind me asking but where do you live? Your only the second person I've heard have to go so long.

Just checking in with all my September peeps. Tomorrow is 2 weeks post-op for me and so far, it has really been an amazing experience. I think I got myself REALLY worked up before hand (with good reason- it IS major surgery with life-altering consequences) and I am SO happy to report that things could not have gone any better.

My surgery was on the 17th and I was in the hospital for about a day and a half. Admitted Monday morning, discharged Tuesday afternoon. The first week was a teesny bit rough. But I took the drugs, drank as much liquid as I could and walked as much as possible.

SInce I've been home, I just have been following instructions and sleeping when I felt like it. Tomorrow I am back to work.... so that should be interesting. I don't know how to inlcude this info in my ticker, so here's my progress "by the numbers"

Pre-"everything" = 225

09/17 Day of Surgery (after 2 week liquid) = 216

09/24 One week post-op = 208

09/30 A day shy of two weeks post-op = 205

20Lbs down 65 to go!

Hope everyone else is having a speedy and healthy (and easy!) recovery.

Hey SkinnyAnnie :-)

I'm officially 10 days out today. I was sleeved on 9/21. I'm a lucky girl. Recovery has been fairly smooth. I'm still struggling to get 65g of Protein in, but I'm pretty close. Today it's my goal to meet it. I'm getting about 32 oz of additional liquid in, still working up to my 64. Tomorrow is the surgical follow up....then I will know weights.

I am finding after walking around for a little less than 15 min or standing still in one place too long gets me a little woozy. I'm trying to move a bit more everyday. Is anyone else experiencing that? Otherwise I feel good. Hope everyone else's recovery is as smooth ;-)

      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.
