FEBRUARY SURGERIES



Recommended Posts

Good for all of you February sleevers!! I had mine November 28,2012. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. It's been a complete lifestyle change, but well worth it. I've lost nearly 50 pounds and feel great. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to have my surgery after I had gone through all the prerequisites because it was close to the end of the year and there were no surgery dates available! My deductible had been met and I was close to my out of pocket max. To go into 2013 would have made it unaffordable for me. But God is good! Somehow I got a surgery date the second week in November!

I just got approved and am now scheduled for February 28th. Kind of in shock. I know that I want to do this and that I must, but wow, what a commitment. Am I really going to let someone cut into me and take out part of my stomach and forever give up eating all that food? I keep telling myself that I will do this, but it really is hard to believe!

      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.
