January Dates



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! My surgery is scheduled for Jan 24. I went to an all day seminar in June and have been working on all my requirements since. After finishing up with my six months of dietary at the end of November-I finally got approval around Christmas. I am very excited to start this journey. I have seen a few people where I work at have the surgery and it has gone very well for them. I realize that this is only a tool and I still have to put alot of hard work into everything. I have been following a low carb diet for a few years and lost 40 pounds from my all time high but with PCOS and insulin resistance I just take weight off slow. My endocrinologist felt this would be a great benefit for me. So here I am... Looking forward to getting to know people on here and following everyone successful journey...

I didn't lose much on liquids either. I lost 7 lbs only had a 10day liquid diet. Remember the only purpose of the pre op liquid diet is so that your liver shrinks some so that its not in the way. So it's ok if you didn't lose a lot of weight.i weighed myself before leaving for surgery' date=' cuz at the hospital they didn't weigh me. That is the only reason I know my pre op weight.

Congratulations on your date!I know for me, that was a huge sense of relief to have a date. I also have PCOS, which is why I am on this journey. I am also having the surgery to help treat infertility. Its crazy hearing doctors recommend birth control for the first 2 years after having such issues trying to conceive for 5years.

Hey guys! I wish you all the best of luck this month!! I'll be having surgery done end of may now after tax season and my hubby will be out of school and can focus on helping me recover. I'm glad he's finally come around and willing I go through this together but another waiting period... Feel like I've been waiting forever!

Great news about hubby :-) Very happy for you. All the support you can get, is great especially when it comes from your love ;-) It does seem to be a waiting game, that's the downfall. Hurry up and wait :-(

      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.
