March 2014 Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Uh I'm so disappointed... Instead of a march date that I expected my dr is going on vacation so my surgery date is April 8 7:30am. I was told to stop the liquid diet but continue to eat high Protein low carbs and losing weight then I have to restart a week before the surgery. The wait is killing me!!

I know the feeling, my tentative surgery date was Jan 24th then the insurance wanted more documentation, then the next available date was February 11th but I had something going on... then the doctor had something going on and I got a Feb 28th date then started pre-op diet got call reschedule to March 3rd. As anxious as I was it goes by pretty quick now all my labs are done and Monday morning I go under at 7:30am!! My surgeon is now starting to use the robot for robotic assisted surgery. So the wait may have benefitted me!

I have all my prescriptions filled and my date for surgery is March 13th. BCBSIL received my paperwork from the doctor on the 24th, just waiting for the final approval. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I know I'm good to go. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow.

sorry that you were delayed. Time will go by quickly, I went through the same thing, I was approved on 1-5-13 and had to wait until 3-17-14. It's worth the wait :)

My tentative date is March 17th. I didn't have any particular amount that they told me to lose. I lost at the

beginning and then gained some around Christmas but lost 14 since then. i didn't loose any this month.

i'm worried to and Monday

I have my last weigh and start my liquid diet too. i'm drinking Water, water, water and i'll be at the gym all

weekend.

i hate being this close & having this uncertainty. & i can see the inches coming off and it doesn't reflect the scale.

so frustrating.

<p>What did everyone stock up on for their 2 week diet?</p> <p>I need to go shopping this weekend and trying to get some ideas.</p>

I bough bullion cubes to make broth. I like 1 chicken cube, one beef cube, and some onion powder. I bought a couple of types of Popsicles and a lot of yogurt. I bought some cottage cheese tonight because I was desperate for something different. I bought a couple of kinds of juice but I limit how much of that I have since it's high on the carbs.

      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.
