October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I think it is just nerves too. I am scared of pain and scared of the unknown. I know I can do it.. and can't wait for the results. The old saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is ohh so true!

My surgery date is Oct. 10th!!! I'm getting more and more nervous every day that it gets closer. I'm excited and nervous!! I'm just scared of the unknown I guess. I think the "dumping syndrome" part of surgery worries me a lot. I know at some point I will want something sweet to eat. Is anybody else worried about it? Or am I crazy lol :-)

I'm scared to death of the "dumping syndrome". It sounds terrible so you are definitely not alone!

Congrats and keep us informed. What liquid diet r u on?

I've been drinking "Oh Yeah!" powered Protein with soy or almond milk. My doctor told me to drink 1200 calories however that has been impossible for me to do. I've also been eating sugar free Jello.

      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.
