Certain Uncertainty: 3-JUN Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

I met with the surgeon today and got my date... 3-JUN, 10:30am. I have a sleep study for CPAP titration tonight and my PCP pre-surgery physical Thursday. I don't have to do a liquid dlet for the next ten days, thank goodness... just Clear liquids the day before.

I am still uncertain of what lies on the other side. I am certain I'm on the right path.

The final ten days before Change begins...

Not sure what the title of your thread means. Are you uncertain about going forward with the surgery or is your surgery date uncertain?

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274

I am still waiting for the insurance to cave and give me what I want LOL but I know what you mean. Ten days seems so short but so long at the same time. I am looking at an end of January date probably because at my size I will probably need to do the liquid diet shake thing for about 2-4 weeks. And I wont have the money to cover my portion til July 20th. Good Luck! Keep me updated as to your surgery and success!!!!

JEALOUS you don't have a preop liquid diet! That was honestly the hardest part for me... it's been smooth sailing for me since surgery. I have had no complications, no nausea, no vomiting, no food intolerance - everything tastes the same... it's been great.

Had surgery 3 wks ago yesterday, I'm down 25lbs since surgery. That's over 8lbs a week - never lost that quickly before!

      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.
