Woo Hoo! Got My New Date. December 11



Recommended Posts

So excited. After getting so close on November 6 and only getting my gall bladder removed instead of GB removal and sleeve, I went for my follow up today and set a new date of December 11.

I was never so happy to start a diet (Pre op)!!

Continued success to you all and have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Mine is too! I start my liquid diet tomorrow and also go in for my pre-admission testing. I am so, so excited! I am sure I will be sick of it after a few days, but it does make it easier to plan what I am having. Either way, it means I am getting close!

Good luck! I hope we get to compare experiences and ideas along the way.

Hi JerseyGirl68,simplyfedup,Caroline G, mocanitanj again,

I am on the Dec. 11th too, I am glad to see that your back on track, happy for you.

I see my Surgeon and then get tests at near by hospital tomorrow. I hope everything will be cool and I just get the go ahead but this is one thing I worry about now just not knowing yet about my Gall Bladder. Not scared just yet,lol.

I lost 17 pd.s since they gave me my date when I was not expecting the insurance to come through until next year, I have no liquid diet but was told just to lose what I can before surgery and am started doing well so far. Had a low cal Thanksgiving day.

Lots of luck to you, see you guys when it comes close too.

I did my testing yesterday. They did an EKG, a chest x-ray, and a lot of bloodwork, but it sounded like it was because that's what my surgeon wants done so I think it is up to the individual surgeon. Good luck!

My surgery is 12.12.12... I went for pre-op testing last week. They did EKG, took my vitals, a ton of blood work, chest x-ray and I spoke with a Surgical RN and Anesthesia at the hospital. Then I went to my drs office and met with my surgeon for the last time before surgery. He went over any last minute questions I had, and also told me I didn't need to do the 2 week pre-op diet (I am doing it anyway, I started today), at the Surgeon's office I also signed my concent forms.

      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.
