Just Received The Best News!



Recommended Posts

Last week I received my surgery date, 8/28/12. I was a little bummed because I was hoping for it to be sooner... WELL, the coordinator just called and said there was an opening next week 8/14!

Luckily, I have been following the pre-op diet for a few weeks in hopes of this happening. I go tomorrow for my pre-op appointments and then I only have a week to wait.

I am so ready, so excited, and so grateful for this life changing opportunity that I just can't wait to get started.

Now excuse me while I get busy reading all of the great advice posted on this forum!

an opening next week!

carolc

the fact that you got an earlier date is super wonderful., good sign ;)

not having time to worry as much is great, now you can be real excited, and of course maybe a little nervous too - all feelings are typical/normal

9 days before WLS, i was told dr needed to reschedule my WLS :angry:

i was so upset - it was a 3 week delay :(

good luck on WLS

speedy recovery

thank you, thank you! I am just so glad that (if all goes according to plan) that I will be able to get my kids to and from school at the end of August, instead of being in the hospital while they start. That was a big thing on my worry list!

Deana, that has to be so hard! I feel very lucky that I get to eat food (no fat, 1,000cal) up until Monday afternoon. We are having a bunch of out of state family coming over Sunday...and my family loves a sunday meal, this will be one last challenge for me.

We are so close to our date, it hardly seems real!

Take care

      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.
