October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Why are you having to do a month of the liquid diet? I suppose if you can do a month' date=' I can surely do two weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm new to this site and not sure if this will go through...but I hope you will stay in touch especially since we have the same surgery date...I am 3rd up...so they say I will go in around 8:30.[/quote']

I have no clue why I have to do s month I think it all depends on the amount of weight your surgeon wants you to lose although he didnt give me a amount to lose, I know sum one whos way bigger than me and they have to do 6 weeks. When I went to my class there was people who was doing a week or less, and wasnt that big so I figure it prob goes by either your size or the amount you need to lose.

Good morning, I'm everything will just fine. The only surprise I had at my pre-op was having to start the liquid diet the next day instead of today. I'm still waiting for a call from the hospital so I can go back and do my blood work.

Well I had my pre-op appointment today & also pre-registeration at the hospital. I had labs, ekg, answered a zillion questions ..asked a ton too! I start my liquid diet on the 1st & then surgery follows on the 15th. Very anxious, excited, overwhelmed... you name it & I've probably felt it! lol I love reading everyone's post here in the October thread because we are going through pretty much the same things. :)

I had mine on the 20th as well, but never had to have an EKG. Went the a 1.5 hr Q&A with the Pre-op Nurse who as totally awesome. Start my pre-op diet 10-1 as well...

It's like we are surgery twins! hahahah

** I went out this weekend and bought a few different Protein Drinks to try. I am drinking one for Breakfast today that I found at Walmart. It's called "Lean Body, on the go", vanilla Ice Cream flavor, and it's YUMMY. 25g Protein too.

So, I had my appointment today for all the fun bloodwork and such. I must say, I was a bit nervous. I had blood drawn, and EKG, some chest x-rays and an ultrasound for my liver, kidney and gallbladder. Why was I so nervous??? I am so excited to I finally be the person outside that I already know I am inside!! I think I was nervousness because now I have my per op on the 1st and surgery on the 15th. Time is getting closer!! Good luck everyone! ;)

Hey you all!!! So I had my pre op testing today and class. I'm a little bummed out, because my xray showed a mass so now I have to get a CT scan. I pray its not serious.

      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.
