October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just checking in. Got to come home Wednesday morning. Been sooooo sore, but actually feeling a little better today. Have tried to walk around the house and have sat outside and enjoyed the pretty weather. Trying to sip as much as I can, but I just don't care for anything. Hubby says he's getting me out of the house tomorrow, he's been great thru all this.

Its official I'm having my surgery on the 30th. I've known that date for a while but didn't want to say cuz I wasn't sure it was going to happen. I had to find the money to pay for it cuz my insurance doesn't cover it. Well after a lot of work and worrying I found it and it is officially official. Pre op is on the 24th, EDG on the 25th, and surgery on the 30th. I'm so excited but the nerves or kicking in now.

Dear God please give me strength!!! I really want to cry right now. My Husband made tacos for him and my Mom (who's here visiting and helping). This is just pure torcher. I just want to eat something so bad!!! I'm not even hungry. I don't know that I'm strong enough to make it some days.

Oh you are!! You will be able to have that again, just not now. My sister brought my husband and sons Casey's pizza tonight for supper and it was ruff but I made it. They felt so bad they were going to eat in in the garage but I said I can overcome!! I did!

Hey it's normal to get nervous' date=' I sure did. The closer it got the more nervous I became, but once I got their and was in the process I calmed down after waiting so long to go into surgery, so it gets better. Pray about though. So glad that you have a date though. Just stay posted here because there are plenty of support. Good day!

      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.
