2014 October Surgery



Recommended Posts

Well I'm glad it's done and over with!!! Sounds positively annoying! At least you are still on track and it's not going to slow you down for surgery. Stinks that it'll be a week for the results. Anyway, I'm glad you're doing well and getting closer to surgery everyday!! :)

Hello all,

Been awhile since I been on here but do read all that is written ☺. Anyway got the results from my EGD n looks like I will have to have my gallbladder removed before the surgery.....which might delay my Oct surgery. Still gotta get an upper GI before they make plans to remove it so.....just gotta stay focused.

It's so nice to hear about everyone's stories. I am all done jumping through all the hoops... 6 month weight management, EKG, psych eval, gall bladder ultrasound.. and ready for surgery on Oct. 7th. Surgeon is booked out that far.

Well I got my cardiology clearance today, and will be doing blood work in the morning. Surgical Clearance appointment on Sept 10th should be no problem now. Then they should submit to insurance and give me my date. WhoooHoooo.

      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.
