Surgery tomorrow on the 19th



Recommended Posts

Scared and excited. So much left to do in preparation. I can't believe the day is almost here. So far I lost 12 lbs on the pre-op diet but let's see how today goes as I will be using magnesium citrate and be on liquids per my doctor's orders.

Best Wishes for you Susie. I was sleeved last Monday and I am so happy already! I am hopeful for a bright future for the first time in forever and cannot believe that I am finally done. I know it is scarey but it is so worth it. I remember waiting to go back to the OR. I thought I would be scared and nervous but I was just ready and excited and ready for the new chapter in my life. I gotta say that I am soooo tired of my clear liquid diet but I can hang in there because I am NOT hungry! I have to remind myself to eat already. Best of luck to you and see you on the losers bench!

      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.
