Oct 24Th Is My Re-Birth Date



Recommended Posts

So, I have a date of Oct 24th- unless the doc doesn't like the way they have scheduled his day. Here's hoping it works.

Anyway, I am on Day 1 of the Pre-Op diet, and I hope these two weeks just fly by. Just trying to get the clearance for surgery and whatever else I have to do.

Hang in there and congrads. My date is 10/29 and this week I hve drank 64oz Water daily, walk 10 min. I eat lean cusine twice daily. No sweets, coffee or chips oh I eat every 4 hours. Hopefully this will help when I go on my 2 week Protein prior to surgery. Must admit not to bad.

WOW~ I love your way of thinking! I'm actually going to steal that from you. Thinking about this a "rebirth" is truly a great way of putting this journey. Good luck to you!

Hey we are sleeve twins as well... Im set for 10/24/12... First surgery of the day- 8am. I have to complete my cardiac clearance on Monday, and pay this ridiculous co-pay (lol.)

Im trying to get through this pre op diet, but over all Im still in denial that this is really happening. Several times during the day, Im thinking "Holy-smokes Im having this surgery in two weeks"..... Blessings to you all for a great surgery :)

      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.
