October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Aah! One week and I'll be loaded up in the car' date=' making the 3 hour trip to the hospital to get this new life on the way! I just can't believe the whole process took exactly 30 days from start to finish...its insane! I'm getting super anxious and almost tempted to take the rest of the week off work! Sending good ju ju to all those starting a new life this week! Your stories keep me motivated![/quote']

I am going in on the 8th as well...I am ready to get off the muscle milk..it has started leaving a thick coating in my mouth ( during the night) It is awful to wake up to. But anywho..I'm ready...nervous but ready! I have everything packed except for my IPad and chapstick. Good luck to all of you...will be checking posts to find out how everyone is doing. God Bless You!

10 days til GO TIME for me and counting. It's getting closer and closer! Good luck to everyone going today for surgery!!

**I had a small victory this morning, it's jeans day at work and I was going thru my closet and found a pair of jeans a size smaller than my usual, I tried them on for kicks and they fit! I wore them to work. Good way to start off my Friday.

I think it's cute and unless it's something horribly inappropriate, there's no such thing as not appropriate! Good luck with everything...

Well my revision surgery from band to by pass is 15th October 2012! Nearly done the first week of pre-op diet second time around seems a lot easier, but wasn't nervous at all last 3 ops yet really really nervous this time which is not like me at all. Anyone one else in the same boat as me?

      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.
