Scheduled for Gastric Bypass May 8th



Recommended Posts

My Dr. Scheduled me for May 8, but I haven't heard yet if my insurance approved it. I'm doing the " fast track" and have Coventry, hopefully all will go as planned. I'm nervous and excited!! Have my first support group meeting tomorrow, then next Monday I have an all day appt that includes the nutritionist, psychiatrist, a fit/ exercise person and someone else. I'm ready to lose 100 pounds, say goodbye to my CPAP machine and hopefully my hbp meds too !

Good luck on your surgery. Although I wasn't officially diagnosed with sleep apnea and didn't have a CPAP machine, there was a good chance that I had this condition. The specialist in this field that examined me thought I had this condition. My snoring kept my wife awake every night. That went on for several years. A couple weeks after surgery that stopped. Now I sleep so quiet, my wife wakes up and thinks I am dead, because she cannot hear me breathing. I also had high blood pressure. I took myself off all high blood pressure medicine around 3 weeks after surgery because my blood pressure was getting too low. I am 11 months post-op and these conditions have been in remission over that time.

      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.
