Consultation being scheduled!



Recommended Posts

So I'm really nervous! I have done my research forever a year and I have finally made my decision to do it. Just waiting for my benefits to be verified and get my consult scheduled!

How do you guys deal with people who are negative and against the surgery (RNY) ? I always have people trying to talk me out of getting it and its annoying.

I've only had one person try to talk me out of this, and crazy enough, it was the tech who works in the pulmonary doctor's office. I very politely told him that I had the support of three highly qualified physicians and have done my own research & thanked him for his concern. You will hear horror story after horror story, mostly from I'll-informed, ignorant people. I've found that my best bet is to smile and walk away or change the subject. It is nobody else's business!

My favorite reply is my body is not a democracy, so you don't get a vote.

I didn't tell anyone I had it done only person that knows is JESUS and he will never judge me.

It's hard to explain how it feels to walk in my shoes I didn't want to hear any negativity and I don't I love it this way! ;)

I read it somewhere, perhaps on this forum, loved it and use it.

I've only told my parents and boyfriend. They are all in support of me and have agreed with me to keep it to ourselves.

      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?

      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.
