New Here From Mn, Surgery 12-21



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I'm from Southern MN and will be having RNY on 12-21-12 by Dr Jones in St Louis Park. I start my pre op liquid diet in a couple weeks and I am getting nervous! I am so ready to be healthy though. Any other southern MN people here?

Welcome, and your time is coming soon. Indianapolis IN here.

I am on the two week pre op diet right now. Should have surgery Dec 5

if we can find out the reason for this abdominal pain I have been having for the

past two weeks. Had a ct scan today. Hoping what ever it is it won't cancel the surgery ( my blood sugar being to high post poned it once) so I am just hoping a bunch and trusting what should be will be.

Glad you found us. There is a lot of support and information here.

Again Welcome

Thanks! I frequently visit obesityhelp.com too. I like this though since it is a mobile app. It makes it much easier for me to navigate on my smart phone. Although, I can't figure out how to do anything with my profile, like change my avatar. Lol

Welcome and you may want to join the December surgeries thread on here. I'm scheduled December 17th.

I went to the December boards, and it was a bunch of nonsense. Just one post with a ton of letters and numbers. Is it a closed group that I need special permission to access?

      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.
