Any Surgeries For December



Recommended Posts

I had the same problem with my chocolate Bariatric Advantage shakes so my dietician told me to order a powdered dehydrated Peanut Butter called "PB2" off of Amazon or some local outdoor stores carry it then add 2 tbl spoons of it to your shake and it makes it taste like a reeses Peanut Butter cup yummy lol

That sounds yummy!

Thanks for the welcome. Had my pre-op visit today and will be on a liquid diet for preop. I m a band revision so will have a bit longer surgery but hopefully all will go well. I'm ready to get it behind me.

Im nervous being a revision too.

My final weigh in is dec 18th and that night a referral will be made for te surgeon. Due to my husbands work my surgery can not be till jan 1st. But I'm in all the pre op now. My 9 vials of blood, 2 urine tests, poop sample, EKG, chest X-ray, I need pyc clearance and to walk 15 mins with my nurse. I have 14lbs left to loose... I'm not on any specific diet. Just a low cal low sugar diet. Regular foods and I am trying Protein Drinks to see what I like. Premier Protein from costco is my favorite. The Isopure is nasty!!!

Its normal to be anxious before surgery. You'll be fine. Keep your head up and your eye on the prize. I'm here for you.

I haven't received a date yet, waiting for final authorization from insurance plus my dr. is adding in a couple dates that he normally doesn't do a surgery. I've had my first preop, in which Dr said I was perfect candidate and we have all info and I was scheduled for preop 2 which is a class setting to go over important info and the surgeries again and expectations and dietary information after the surgery. I will also receive Rx's needed after the surgery. The preop 2 and final preop is this Thursday. I received the instructions for the preop diet already, just waiting to start the diet. The diet is 10 days preop.

December 15, a Saturday. Was starting to wonder if it would happen this month. Dr added the 15th due to the holidays taking up a couple of his normal surgery days.

      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.
