Anyone for surgery on Sept 25th?



Recommended Posts

I am having my surgery on Sept 25th with Dr Garcia. I am going alone so I am hoping to meet someone before I go that is going at the same time. Getting so excited for my life to change.

That would be great. I think I'm more scared of being by myself right now In Mexico than I am of having the surgery. So having people to hang out with will be great. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome! :) We will be arriving on the 24th, but I'm not sure if I'm staying at the hotel that night or the hospital. It will be good having someone there who will be going through the same thing!

I started it this past friday. I have to do it for 2 weeks. So far not to bad but It seems like I have a headache all day long. How long is your pre-op diet for?

I will also be doing a two-week preop diet. I start on the 10th and I'm already dreading it. lol. It doesn't sound too entirely bad, though.

I hope your headache passes soon. Just remember the "prize" at the end and that will at least make a little more bearable. :)

      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.
