September surgery



Recommended Posts

This Liquid Protein diet is not easy for me. I have a major headache from caffeine/sugar withdrawal, I think. Not getting all the shakes in because the headache make me feel yucky already. I guess those 'last chance to enjoy' lattes were not my friend. UGH

Is anyone else a LAP band to bypass patient? I'd love to connect with someone else who is having surgery around the same time. Mine is Sept 15th.

Yes, I am doing the bypass. I am a bit nervous! I felt like I couldn't wait for the approval and when I got it, I went into panic mood! Yikes! How are you doing?

Doing good. I have a LAP band and can't wait to have it out. My biggest concern is how complicated it will be to take it out. Can't wait to start my journey to thinness!

I'm September 9th! I am excited and nervous. I was told a million times that the 6 months pre-op would fly by and boy were those people right! I am super excited for all of us to start our journey on the "other side" of this.

I spent 6 months waiting for my insurance to change to one that covers WLS. That didn't fly by at all!

Hi, Nicole! I'm Sept 9 too! Isn't this great to have people to share this with?!? I am getting ready for the nutrition class... Like right now! Waiting for it to start :) Really nervous about this but so helpful to read that others have the same thoughts/concerns. Are you doing a two week preop?

Well, I was informed yesterday that my 9/2 surgery was moved up to 8/25 due to a cancellation. I was happy to get this done quicker but I spent yesterday trying to calm down (without eating to cope) about losing a week to mentally prepare. Sure hope my liver is alright for surgery without the extra 8 days fasting. Did I mention that not being able to eat when stressed stresses me? LOL This pre surgery diet is not my friend.

      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.
