Recommended Posts

She called this afternoon and gave me a date. February 18th. I failed the first 4 ekg's they gave me today. my heart rate was 97 we got it down to 94 and doc signed it so i am all set for my pre-opp class friday, just need to lose the rest of the weight and pull together the funds for the silastic ring by friday. I am thankful for the date. I am thankful for how fast this has all gone. I can't wait to have it done, iwant to start losing faster so i can reduce this pain....february 18 seems so far away...but i know i was very blessed to get a date so soon....i guess i can join the february surgery thread now...has one been started yet? i am also very thankful to all of you who offer encouragement and support.

So glad you got a date. It sounds like a long time away, but it will move faster than you think. But I will be honest the five weeks since surgery went a lot faster then the five before. Isn't it just amazing how things seem to us. Time is Time, but it can seem to go so slow and at other times way too fast. Wishing you the best as you go through the rest of your appointments and classes getting ready for surgery.

      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.
