September 23rd sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Just got the call, hospital by 9:30 and surgery at 11. I have lost about 11lbs so far on the pre-op diet. I am hungry though. I am getting nervous now and I had my tooth pulled last week since there was an infection. Then I got dry socket which is when the blood clot falls out and they have to pack it every day. It has been a tough week. It is taking so long to heal and kills me. I am hoping I will be all done by Sunday. I can't have packing in my mouth for the surgery. I am also taking so much antibiotic to prevent an infection there. Just my luck Hopefully, the VSG will go better..lol.

I got my time... 10 am. Have to check in at 8. Clear Liquids and SF jello/poweraid/popsicle sticks (only 5 day preop diet). I had a campbells Tomato Soup for dinner tonight (very watered down). Now I'm wondering if that qualifies as a clear liquid. Going to be extremely strict with myself for the next two days.

23rd as well. I got a new surgeon so I wouldn't have to postpone my surgery (my original was in admitted to the hospital and is unavailable for 3 to 4 weeks.) I'm not nervous, but a little scared. I was packing up things at my desk from work, and couldn't help but kind of getting emotional looking at the pics of my kids. My surgery is around 9 AM (show up at the hospital at 7). Fingers crossed. :unsure:

I am the same day!! I get worried too which I usually dont for surgery. I just want it over already' date=' plus the preop diet is kicking my butt. I also find I am nesting at home. Like I did before having my son, Trying to get everything straight.[/quote']

Good Luck 9/23 Sleevers! You all will do great ;)

And about that nesting... I thought I was losing my mind today, I was doing the same thing! Rearranged furniture - cleaned like a crazy lady. (I'm on day #6 of pre-op diet) the cleaning took my mind off of being hungry, and eased my anxiety of having surgery in 10 short days.

      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.
