Newbie going through process to hopefully get a surgery date



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes: Hello,

I am new to this website. The surgical group I am using has a process that I go have to go through before I get a surgery date. I have a psych eval left and do that on 5/10. I can not wait to get the surgery date. I have given up soda already and looking to do some test runs with my liquid pre op diet. I am nervous about that. I am looking forward to reading the threads on this site. I was referred here by someone at one of the support group meetings. I have lots of questions regarding post op and it is encouraging to see the great results that everyone has had. Keep it up and I look forward to adding my success story as well.

      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.
