May 8th meet with surgeon



Recommended Posts

My first appointment was with the centers P.A. I also met with the nutritionist and my case coordinator. From there ine I do not have any other issues and everything else's like the EGD and colonoscopy are all up to date, all I had to laws get blood work and make an appointment o meet the psychologist. My appointment at the center was last Thursday, and I'm meeting with the psy on Wednesday. Sometime this week I should get an Emil for when my first appointment with my actual surgeon will be. Once I loose 5% of my body weight they will schedule the surgery. My insurance required 6 month supervised item, I was previously on weight watchers and have all my weigh in records. The costumer service agent I spoke with thought that it would be sufficient! So as long as my insurance accepts the wight watchers information, I may be looking at July surgery date!

      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.
