One Week. One. Just one.



Recommended Posts

I don't think I have been this anxious/nervous/excited/terrified since my wedding. I fly out one week from today to San Diego. And my sleeve will be created on Saturday. The pre-op diet is going... well, it's going. MyFitnessPal keeps scolding me for not getting enough calories in each day! LOL

Anyone else just a week away?

I am so full of mixed emotions I cannot even articulate it! I tend to write novels when I make posts or blog... so I apologize in advance if I inundate this board with my observations and experiences. Then again... I may be too out of it to type LOL who knows.

One week. Amazing. It feels like just yesterday was November 11 when I decided this was my path and how far away 3 months felt. just wow.

I leave on Monday for San Diego. I just got home from my week at my client site. My box from Uninjury arrived and I started packing it for my trip. It is start to hit me that this is really going to happen. So, I know how you feel. I am pretty psyched and excited. I am more anxious about the post-experience with my hectic work / travel schedule. I will managed somehow.

YEEEESSSS!!!! I travel Sunday, February 3 to San Diego for surgery in Tijuana on Monday the 4th! Can't get past the feeling of anticipation - really looking forward to spending the remainder of my life as a normal sized person.

All the best to you as you count down this week! How is your pre-op diet going? I'm so pleasantly surprised that I am not starving and am losing weight. My 8 year old took my pre-surgery "fat" pictures this morning!

Thanks everyone!

HoosierGirl, pre op diet is going ok... MyFitnessPal is yelling at me that I am not getting enough calories! Lol that is a first. I have dropped more than ten lbs so far but I am not sure I am doing it "right". I have the pantry stocked with broth, Jello and the like, and the HMR orders are arriving soon! Best of luck to you!

SoCalDixieGal... Two weeks is when I started to think too much! I hope you are feeling pumped and confident. Your hoarder comment made me giggle. :)

      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.
