Surgery Is Next Tuesday



Recommended Posts

I am all set to go, I am scheduled for Tuesday morning. I am really excited and nervous too. I am worried my liver won't be small enough. Cheated a couple times on my pre op diet. I am on liquids now to help. I know once it's over I will follow a strict diet. I am ready to say goodbye to my weight. I was 260 at the dr yesterday. That is the biggest I have ever been. My husband is so supportive and is my rock.

congrats to you on getting a date! don't knock yourself for falling, just be proud of yourself for getting back up and get ready for the next big thing! they will work around what you've got i'm sure, especially once they're in there. i'm still in that suspense mode of waiting for final approval so reading all these positive posts are really helpful to me. keep us all posted and best of luck!! :]

Thank you guys. I am just so nervous that I will go under anesthesia and they will say sorry couldn't do it. I am only having liquids and very small amounts of chicken now.

      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.
