Can't believe my surgery is tomorrow...



Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I am feeling so many emotions, I almost want to cry. After years of losing weight only for it to come back when I whenever I would eat carbs has been very heartbreaking for me, I felt like I will have to be on a diet all my life and I would never overcome this weight problem.

I revealed to my neighbor who has been skinny all his life that I am having the sleeve, he told me "why don't you try working out and eating healthy"

Only a person that has had weight issues can relate to how that comment is not at easy as it sounds. I did very well on all my past diets to lose the weight, but it would always somehow make it's way back. Whenever I would eat, I would actually get hungrier after I am done eating and just keep eating. I never feel full when I eat, I feel like this only happens to me.

I have great plans ahead to lose the weight and keep it off. Thank you to you everyone for your informative posts! xoxo

      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.
