October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Aww thanx. I just get so anxious because the time is going by soooo slow for me. Its like that saying a watch pot never boils LOL

I couldn't agree or relate more! haha. I feel like my WLS center probably sighs and roll their eyes every time I call them and say "Hi, this is Jordan" lol. Well just get me my date and surgery, and I will be on my merry way!

Well I went in there last week just to make sure that they had all of my medical records and to see what was missing so I could work on it. Then I called them Thursday to make sure they at they got the ones that were missing. And that's when they told me about the letter from the PCP. So then I had to bug my PCP-which, luckily, I also work with him one day a week-and then I bugged him today to see if he actually did it. I am just a very organized person and like to have all of my ducks in a row. Not knowing what is going on really drives me nuts. haha

Good Morning my fellow Oct surgery daters :), I am just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I can imagine excited and scared at the same time. I know I am. I am super excited about my pre-op appointment tomorrow afternoon, however I am nervous about starting the liquid diet next Monday. Time is going fast, but yet so slow because I am just ready for the "day of" which is when I think it will all feel so real. I am looking forward to a healthy life changing experience most of all.

Anyway, I hope everyone have q wonderful day (Happy Tuesday :)) And I will keep everyone posted.

Hi Liz,

Which brand of Protein supplements are you using? My goal will be to get as much of the replacement shakes in during the day while i'm at work.

      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.
