Any January 2014 Surgeries?



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am scheduled for January 13th! I am excited but also kind of nervous. I'm scared about being put under. What is everyone's pre op diet? Well if you have one. Lol I have two weeks of two shakes a day, 3/4cup of vegetables, a half of cup of cottage cheese and two to three pieces of fruit. It's actually not that bad. I can eat something. My friend just had her two weeks and she had nothing but shakes. Good luck everyone our time is near!! :)

I have three week pre-op liquid diet. Four Protein Shakes plus six cups of calorie free liquids. Can also have up to two cups of celery, cucumber or spinach if I feel the need to chew something. Nothing else. I'm kind if nervous about it but I'm sure I will do okay.

Wow three weeks? Idk if I could do that one. Lol I guess if I had to I would. Good luck! It's all worth it in the end. That's my little pep talk I am going to be telling myself during my two weeks :) I can't wait to be on the losers bench!

Surgery date for me is January 16th, I start my pre-op full liquid diet on January 2nd. I don't think it'll be that bad...I can have cream based Soups, Protein Shakes and puddings.< /p>

      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.
