At my last dr. Appointment before the big day



Recommended Posts

I am at my lat appointment , waiting for the dr. It finally feels like its really going to happen. Twice I had people ask me why I am doing this because they think that I don't need it. It his happened today in the dr office. Really!!!! I have lost 7 lbs. since last Tuesday and surgery is Monday .

Ahhh I don't need any one questioning my decision .

Ok now I am so tempted to have 1 last slice of pizza. 1 slice not the 3 I usually eat. Hummmmm...

Don't feel bad I just went through the 1001 questions with my oldest son on yesterday as to why are you doing this all you need to do is walk. After telling him guess what I know you love me and is worried I have to do this for me. So congrats on your surgery on Monday I am right behind you I am on Wednesday :-)

Congratulations, you're almost there - how exciting. And yes, people like to voice there opinions, I even heard it from a nurse as I was getting ready to be wheeled in for surgery. The comment was (she's not a bariatric patient, she's not THAT big). My thought was why should I have to be THAT big at all, but I ignored her, she doesn't live in my skin nor does she have my medical problems and I wasn't going to get into it then. There's going to be comments that we just have to let roll off. Enjoy your journey. It's your, all yours, and you deserve it. :D

      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.
