Counting down the minutes



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery date is February 11th. It couldn't come soon enough. I'm currently on day 2 of drinking the Bariatric Advantage shakes. I've had 2 out of the 5 required shakes for the day. It was pretty rough to begin with, but it seems to be getting somewhat easier. I hope I can make it the next 2 weeks. I really want to stick to the regimen. It's just challenging since the shakes are "meal replacements" and I'm not supposed to eat anything. Argh. It's especially hard because everyone at work is taking their lunch breaks and eating actual food. I guess I never realized how preoccupied I was with food. Or maybe I'm just going nuts now because I can't have it.

I just needed to let off a little steam as I sit in the break room while my coworkers have lunch :/ I actually feel somewhat better. Almost time for another shake. Yippy ki yay!!

Congrats on getting this far! I, too, am counting down the minutes until surgery and wanting to eat EVERYTHING. Just remember...you're gonna be a skinny b!tch soon :) :) :) Unfortunately, being skinny doesn't taste like cake....mmmm...cake. ;)

It's all relative my dear! When I started the pre-op shakes I was miserable! Then I had surgery and the first week I would of done anything to go back to my pre-op shake days!!! :)

But, it all gets better and you will be happy you did it!

Oh I must add that I'm a weirdo I like the way Protein Shakes taste and still drink them today:)

You'll really realise how pre occupied with food you are once you're sleeved.

Keep up the good work with the shakes. Take yourself away from food situations. Have your shake at your desk and then go for a walk the rest of your lunch break.

Good luck :)

I'm scheduled for feb 11th also. Pre-op diet has been easy for me because I am so sick with a cold, diahreah, even developed a hemorrhoid. I haven't even been able to drink my shakes. I'm supposed to have 4 a day. Today I had one. I'm trying to drink a lot of Water because I don't want to become dehydrated. Hoping to feel better, this SUCKS!

I feel your pain. I'm a Feb 11th sleever too. I've already started modifying my shakes this week adding a lil Decaf instant coffee in for flavor just to help get through the work day.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
