October 1 Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow begins the first day of the rest of my life with my all day educational seminar. I am super excited but sometimes get a little overwhelmed thinking about all of the lifestyle changes. When I began my required 6 months o medically supervised doctor appointments on March 18, I never dreamed the time would fly by so quickly. My insurance required a lot of "jumping through hoops" but everything was submitted on a Tuesday morning and I was approved on that Wednesday afternoon! I was expecting it to take between 2 weeks and 2 months. So I'm actually ahead of what I planned. I have several friends who have had tremendous success with the sleeve which excites me even more!! Praying that I can stick to this pre-op diet and make necessary life changes.

Thank you. Weight loss surgery is something I thought about 20+ years ago but did not feel comfortable doing the gastric bypass. Looking back I regret all the fun times I have missed out with my children but so looking forward to making wonderful "active" memories with my grandsons!

      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.
