First Post- Sitting On Pins And Needles



Recommended Posts

My rny surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, 11.13. We sent off the approval paperwork on 10.29. If it comes back TODAY, we are moving forward with the date, otherwise it will be rescheduled. I am so anxious I can't stand it.

crossing my fingers and toes that you get approval today. I know you are about to go nuts waiting, I wish I had a magic wand to make it easier. A few days ago I was counting down the hours, then while getting ready to be rolled back to surgery on Wednesday the surgeon comes in and says my blood sugar is too high for it to be safe to operate. I was devastated. So I know if you have to be resecheduled you will feel the same. So now I am scheduled for Dec. 5 and now back to counting days instead of hours. Waiting sucks, it just does.

      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.
