Recommended Posts

Hi All,I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today. Had my 2 week follow up today and have lost a total of 25 lbs! I am feeling very well . My only issue is belching. I am not fit company for man or beast! Hope all the other boomers are doing well.

The workshops for April are full. My only hope of getting in is if someone backs out or doesn't come up with the money. Otherwise I'm not getting in till May and they won't submit to insurance till workshops are done. After that I get a surgery date. So PLEASE PLEASE I hope I get in the April workshops. May is so far away and then it may mean a June surgery date... that would be terrible timing.

April workshops are full with no backouts. May it is. My team is wonderful and are trying to get ins. preapproval now so I can get a surgery date within a day or two of completing my last workshop on May 21. Crossing my fingers...

I'll be 50 this year. RNY surgery is April 22. I had all my preop testing done today. It's getting more "real"...It's like a roller coaster ride of mixed emotions :)

70 here. Waiting for a surgery date to get my band out, then wait another six weeks to 3 months to have bypass. So by the time bypass takes place will probably be 71.

      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.
