Tomorrow's The Big Day.



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the final phase to the beginning of my new life. I feel ready. I'm not really nervous. I feel super prepared having read so much on here. I made it through the 14 days of liquid without cheating and I think that will be the hardest part. I want to thank you all for your support and for sharing your experiences.

Congrats on all the above ! I start my liquid diet in a couple of weeks....starting to worry if will go nuts without solid food.....I just plan on drinking Water in-between to keep the hunger pains at bay. What kind of pre op tests did you have? I was signed up for the band and after reading here,decided to go for the sleeve. My Dr. appt is not until the 17th and so I have yet to speak to my doctor about the change. i did get my insurance going on the new surgery though...hope to get my letter soon. I wish you well and have prayed for you already : )

Keep me updated ! I will be waiting to hear from you !!!! You will do well....

Hi. I had a boat load of blood tests, an upper GI, chest xray, stress test, EKG, ultrasound on my legs, and the psych Eval. I had a 6 month weight loss requirement. Admittedly, I didn't take that too seriously and ended up getting approved for surgery but then the surgeon wouldn't do it because my Diabetes was way out of control. I took 2 months and worked hard and realized how important each phase of this journey is. I got my numbers down and now I am ready to go. I made a lot of the changes we will be required post op already. I also saw a therapist for 2 months to really work on understanding my relationship with food.< /p>

      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.
