New Here Looking For New Buddies



Recommended Posts

Yes that's where I seem to be. It's all worth it in the end so I can't complain.

Just approved by my insurance last week, my pre op appt is the end of this month, which we schedule surgery on that date. I figure late March/April is when they will get me in. Would like to find a buddy to chat with thru this process, because frankly I am scared lol.

Congrats on getting approved! I will be having surgery around the same time as you! I'm always looking for new buddies they are great to have.

welcome!!! the sleeve is the best thing that happened to me...I was nervous about my many things before surgery, but now I am fine...loosing weight and gaining strength.

To top it all my daughter asked me 1 day before surgery when i was ready with all my tests...MOM do you think you are doing the right thing? I was so upset.

But now she is happy with my progress.

SO GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Well I'm glad you listened to your heart and knew what was best for YOU.. I'm so scared to tell my family and friends because I know they will discourage me. I really need this surgery, it's the perfect tool to help me change my life. I just don't know what to do.

Hiya curvy.. My surgery date is March 12th. Doing my presurgical blood work tomorrow, then taking my preaurgical class in the 26th. It's so exciting, nerve racking all rolled up together. Seems like time is going so slow!!

      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.
