Any October surgeries out there...



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone! Is anyone else eating EVERYTHING in sight??? My doc said I don't need a pre-op diet, but he might just change his mind when I see him for my pre-op visit on the 27th. I'm just so bloated from overrating... Between the up coming surgery and school starting, anxiety has gotten the best of me :/

Tell me about it, I sometimes stop and try to think of what I can eat now that I won't be able to for a long time :rolleyes:

BTW, today I went for my chest X-Ray, blood work (11 tubes :wacko:), and EKG, then abd. US on the 17th and I'm all done with my pre-op testing. Soooo excited!!!!! :lol:

My surgical group has you go on a pre-op diet to lose 5-10% of total body weight, to show that you are dedicated to making the post-op changes required for long term success. Also they have told us (my sister-in-law) and I are making this journey together) if we gain any before surgery, we are OUT! :(

I had to do a 2 week liquid diet before my band was put in too' date=' but no diet for the bypass, so I just eat :/[/quote']

I know there are several things I would love to have before surgery but with my NUT being so strict I don't wanna risk surgery being cancelled :(

Believe me, I would go on a Water diet if I had to! This surgery will be a blessing in our lives, nothing is worth it getting cancelled :)

      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.
