April 2014 pre-op group

[Swhitton85 66]

I was worried about my insurance too but it wasn't a problem at all. They called me yesterday & just encouraged me to try losing more b4 my surgery. My whole process has been about 6 months including the mandatory 12 week classes I had to attend thru kaiser. Seems like once u got the referral to surgeon things are moving sooooo fast!

For the April 2014 bypass folks who joined the group but can't figure out the navigation, this link will take you to the discussion part of it. I have tried to keep up and invite everyone I find who is having bypass in April.

Hello All,

My surgery date is in April 28th. I am taking one week off. My doctor requires one day liquid diet which is before surgery . I need to lose 5-10 pounds it's not easy. My Nutritionist had everyone on a 2 shake a day for Breakfast /lunch ,2 yogurts for snack a day, and dinner is one piece of meat and greens. It's so hard. I feel like I'm starving. Headaches are being to come. I have my good and bad days. Today is a good day.

How is Everyone else doing?

My surgery date is also April 28th. Im getting things together see what I like although I hear my taste will completely change. Im normally one that can tolerate things I don't like so we will see. Good luck.

Proudmomma83 I feel your pain! I am on day 4 of my 2 week liquid only diet! I can have a shake for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only sf Jello or 8oz of broth twice a day for a snack. My first and second day was really hard! Day 3 and 4 not so bad.

I am nervous about the liquid diet myself. Surgery date April 28 and have to be on liquids 14 days leading up to surgery. I have been pushing back from heavy foods for about a week in preparation. More plain yogurts, cottage cheese, sf Jello, salads no meat. Im Good with that but its still food only liquids for 2 weeks is going to be a real challenge!

I'm on day 3 and I'm starving I'm trying not to eat as much just focusing on drinking tons of Water I should have Protein Shakes but they don't cut my taste as of now I'll prepare them for post surgery

I do have one shake per day those get me through. I really hope I don't have an issue with them after the surgery.

Day one was the worst! The hardest part is still making meals for my son (single mom) n having to have a shake myself! I keep telling myself 10 more days today!! Lol

Yea it sucks I have to cook my traditional rice and Beans for my bf and reg meat and Pasta ugh things I love and I can't have especially my bread ???? but in the end I know it will be worth it . We can all do this just one day at a time if we slip we can get back up no one is perfect
