Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, today I had my appointment with my surgeon again and my date has set 18th September... <br><br> Today I was soooo nervous that I made myself sick, my surgeon is awesome. So I should not be but it's exciting and nerve racking all in one.. <br><br> So I am happy I have a date and it's all starting to happen. <br><br> I do have a few questions though.. <br><br> I have to have a endoscopy 2 days prior to basically check everything out.. Is this normal??? I mean there is no extra cost but just wondering more about it. As in why and not what the procedure is.<br><br> I also have to have injections of Clexane, someone may have spoken about this and I missed it? What's that for?? <br><br> You know how you walk out and then think of a million questions I should of asked that is two I have .. <br><br> Thanks in advance <br><br> 57 days and counting!!!!!! <br><br> Kellie

Clexane is to help prevent blood clots and it's normal to have an endoscopy, congratulations!

Don't worry; endoscopy is a breeze. The procedure takes all of 15 mins and you'll be out while they do it. No problems! They just check the condition of your esophagus and entry to your stomach, make sure you have no big problems. It's a piece of cake. My date is Sept 10! We will be having ours very close to the same time! I am really excited too! :)

      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.
