Newbie here! Just got a date!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!! I'm new here. I've started my journey at the end of January. Paperwork got sent in July 30 & I got called with my approval on Aug 12. My surgeons office called me on August 14 with a date. September 30th!!!!!! To tell you a little about myself I'll start by saying I'm 29, female, married with 4 children. I've been overweight since the birth of my first child almost 12 yrs ago and just gained since then. I currently weigh 307 with my highest being 312. I'm terrified of having surgery, I've never had any surgeries before and I tend to panic and have anxiety so I really hope I can do this! Any words of encouragement will help!

      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.
