Got my date - March 28



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking this site since I started my journey back in November 2013. I haven't really told anyone or posted about my surgery because I was afraid some thing would go wrong along the way and I wouldn't get my insurance to approve it.

Today I got the call from my doctors office and I am so excited! It is still hard to believe in just fourteen days I will be going in for surgery.

I didn't have a pre-op diet..just clear liquids tomorrow. How is your husband doing?

Okay so far. He started clear liquids today (well midnight last night). He said he was hungry a couple hours ago, but he hadn't had much today (only 1 Protein and not even much juice). I told him he needed more protein though. An hour ago, he tried broth, but straight out the carton. He said it was horrible, so I'm gonna get him some stuff to boil in it to help flavor it. Fortunately, though, he said it is a little filling.

One more day...he is ssooo ready to have the procedure and get started!!!

      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.
