Recommended Posts

Im scheduled for 21st Oct with pre-op diet starting on the 7th. Super excited, but nervous too. Im actually viewing the 21st like the beginning of my new life. I can't wait to finally start being free of the fat and everything else I battle because of it. Good luck to you all.

I had my surgery shortly after I posted yesterday. Pain meds made me loopy and lots of nausea. Finally under a bit of control.

Can I just share for a minute???

Monday I start my pre-op two week diet like most of the rest of you have done/are doing. It just hit me this morning that life as I know it will be over soon. At the same time as they do my bypass, they will be removing my ovaries as well. So.....transition into life after bariatric surgery AND surgical menopause at the same time. My head knows it will all be fine....but I wish this knot in my stomach would figure it out!!!!

Awwww u have a lot going on at once!! Hard to deal with the emotional part of it for sure. I feel the same way u do. I start my liquid diet next Friday and I keep thinking wow I only have 6 more days to enjoy good food and alcohol!!! Going out to eat tonight and then having a party tomorrow night. It's sad :(. BUT it will all be worth it!! Just keep telling yourself that! You will be healthy and feel so much better!! I'm sweating my ass off at work today cuz I've been running all over the place (I am a Secretary for 4 diff departments). I can't wait not to sweat so much!! It's embarrassing!!!! My hair is drenched :(

      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.
