Newbie But So Very Excited About Upcoming Wls!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 17 and I'm so excited. Just want to talk with others about the excitement and the struggles. I have looked at sooooo many videos on youtube but I think a forum would be better fit for me. Everyone in my family is tired of hearing about it and dont really seem excited anymore because I have worn it out LOL. Looking forward to hearing everyones story or and telling mine :-)

I am so excited too! I am 2 weeks post op tomorrow and no regrets. My friends and family although excited for me are yes.... a bit over it. Everything is going great lost 25pounds pre surgery and 15 since so today was the big 40lbs. Too bad I drain from the top down and have not lost all 40 in my butt! Butt I am sure it will come off! Congrats on having a date and the month will fly by! Just be inspired that all you loose this month will get you that much closer to where you want to be. Enjoy the ride!

      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.
