October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Your coordinator should send you a pre-op diet. However some of them are pretty inconstant with most of the pre-op diets that are on this site. I wanted a little more out of mine...mine is 3days of yogurt and Water? then clears the day before and nothing after 10pm the night before. So ( as a nurse ) I went on line and found...... Peachtree's surgery and bariatrics manual.... and I really like it...loads of info.....and I like the idea of the 2 week kick start to this surgery! I want to completely detox myself from Carbs prior to surgery and that takes the full 2 weeks!

Thanks for your advise Deb..what other things should I b asking. I just made up my mind n booked my surgery hoping for the best. I figured if I asked them something they just going to tell me what I want to hear.

Who is your surgeon? there are many people on this site who have had your same surgeon and have already gone through the surgery. What are your specific questions?

      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.
