August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I am on the pre-surgery diet and was told 8/26, 8/27/ 8,29, 9/3 or 9/5 were going to be dates

I hate this waiting so am happy it's going to happen soon. The pre-surgery diet (morning shake, 28-40grams Protein for lunch & dinner with no Water 30 min before or after the meal, only 2 slices high Fiber bread the whole day, 3 1/2 cup fruit, 2 small Protein Snacks, supplement regime, etc. etc) is going to great and actually causing me to drop already.

My hospital just made the top 10% of all U.S. Bariatric Centers! The report is here if you want to check it out: http://www.healthgrades.com/quality

It would be great if we all keep track of each other and if we get advice on other forums from experienced sleevers and post it here so we don't all miss anything.

I'm August 27. Only required to pre-op for one week but I'll probably start the week before trying to reduce carbs and avoid sugar. Not going to enjoy the pre-op phase, never been able to find a Protein product (shakes or bars) that I like.

I start my pre-op low carb diet tomorrow, I am really freaking out. I hope I am making the right choice. Anybody else doing this? I was so sure that this was the best thing for my health and now I am doubting. The few people I have told have told me that I don't look "fat enough" to mutilate my body, even my own NUT asked if I still wanted to do this since I lost 15 lbs since May. I have never had surgery, and I am scared. I also wonder if I am really scared or scared of the disapproval that I know I will receive. Of course my shrink is out of the office and the bariatric one I saw prior to surgery authorization is 3 hours away...

Start my pre-op diet tomorrow after my pre-op testing, 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!

      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?

      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.
