December 19, 2012--What If It Gets Delayed?



Recommended Posts

I feel like I've been waiting for this forever! I had to quit smoking, which by all accounts is the best thing I've ever done. Then it was all the hoops, and ridiculous "medical supervised weight loss", what a joke. So now I have a date, I'm just so worried the psychologist will call my surgeon and tell him, "you know, she didn't seem crazy, but I know how to make her crazy!" or the sleep doctor will say, "we need you to come back for a month long sleep study..." every day drags into weeks. 49 days. I wonder if my surgeon would mind if I camped out at his office??

Waiting is so hard isn't it, especially when you know how much it's going to change your life. Enjoy your time of being able to gulp Water that's what I miss the most.

What if What if.

Relaxe this is the hardest part waiting that and the pre op liquid diet. 49 Days will fly by and by Christmas you will have had your surgeery and be on your way to a brand new Wardrobe.

So take it eazy with the What ifs you will only drive your self crazy.

Nows the time to prepare your home, your family and your mind for whats to come. Get all the Vitamins, Protein powders, Water etc that you're going to need after the surgery. Read some good RNY books (suggest Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies book - it was great), do more research, try lots of shakes and Protein foods, get a nice blender etc. it will help you pass the time and get you prepared.

Good luck and congrats!

That Dummies book was recommended by the psychologist. I'll have to get it.

The surgeon sells Chike Protein Shakes. Anybody try that?

This forum is really great! There's a support group here in San Antonio once a month, but this is anytime anywhere.

      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.
