November surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I'm starting my pre op on Tues. I used to be a heavy drinker in my long ago past. I found that I'm craving alcohol more than food. I've gone almost 2 years without drinking anything other than 4-6oz of red wine once a week and its been 3 weeks since my last glass. I haven't acted on it but I think I just might miss my Saturday glass of wine more than food. Is this weird?

I just did research and I want a for sure slam dunk so this battle can finally be over. Sleeve is not reversible and I believe rny is. Plus I want more malabsorbtion that rny gives. I just did not want to go through another revision surgery as I'm having to do with this band. You will be fine. .. no worries. I was terrified of this and now I'm sorta at peace with it. It is tough and im sure many understand. Just think about how much better you will feel with no complications.

      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.
