30 More Days Till Surgery



Recommended Posts

Guys, I'm 27 weeks post-op and have lost 103 lbs since May 10th of last year. I know exactly how you feel waiting for the big day but take it from someone who has been there, the anticipation of the surgery is a lot more traumatic than the surgery itself. I was totally shocked by the minimal amount of pain and discomfort that followed the surgery. I'm betting that when you look back on it you'll be thinking that you wasted a lot of worry and anticipation for nothing! It is amazing and you'll never regret the decision!

I seem to be settling into the idea. I am on the pre-op diet and was cranky for a couple of days. Seem a bit better now, at least I think so.

That is awesome! And thank you for your perspective and sharing your story I found it very comforting. To those of you having to do the pre-op diet ( liquid) sounds intense! I don't have to do one, I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. I live in northern California.

      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.
