October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

I've got 2 more sleeps and then it's my turn on the 12th. I'm starting to get a little bit nervous now. I went for my pre-op assessment on monday and the nurse said if I haven't lost any weight then the surgeon won't operate. But she didn't say since when! Now the last time they weighed me before Monday was back in April and since then I've gained abt 3kgs. (Lots of stress at work with 3 work mates getting life threateningly ill plus I wasn't really trying to be good then). If she means since April, I might not get my surgery. If they mean since I started the pre-op diet, how will they know? I'd been on it 4 days before I got weighed. (I don't own any scales).

Maybe she was just trying to scare me into staying on the diet, which I have done anyway. Maybe they mean between the assessment and the surgery. Who knows?! I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. There's no way I haven't lost any weight on a less than 800 calorie per day diet.

They had told me to have the tests at least 10 days out so if it was positive they could give me the medicine. I hope that is enough time. The weird thing is that I had called the surgeon's office this morning and they said everything was good. My PCP is the one who called me. I read that some people have to wait a couple of months after testing positive. I am kind of freaking right now.

I finish my 14 day pills on Sunday and my surgery is Monday so don't worry

      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.
