August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Two more days... Got my heating pad, my tums, and sugar free canines today. Thanks for all of the advice and truthfulness of what to expect. I'm looking forward to it but a little nervous. Did anyone have to do a 2 week postoperative shake diet? How was it?

Start my pre-op diet tomorrow after my pre-op testing' date=' surgery is August 19th. I'm so nervous and my anxiety is so high. Seriously! I worked so hard for the approval but I'm scared now. The unknown is so hard on me. Anyways, good luck to my fellow August sleevers, and speedy recovery for those who recently had their surgery![/quote']

yeh I had to do the liquid diet. Honestly it is not that bad! You will be fine! I was SO worked up for this surgery. I cried the entire time before my surgery....I cried to my nurse....I cried to the anesthesiologist....I cried to my surgeon....and honestly....I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. I am sore yes....but not AT ALL like I thought it would be! The pre diet gets easier after a couple of days and the liquid diet after surgery is completely supported by the hospital staff so they make it super easy! You will do great! IN my thoughts1

      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.
