Hi everyone! I just wanted to check in. Today I had my pre-op appointment. Did labs, signed a bunch of papers and was given my pre-op diet instructions. Time is fast approaching because it seems like Tuesday, October 14th will be here before I know it! I'm sending happy calming vibes to everyone!!!

I'm right behind you????

I'm scheduled for 10/27! Counting down......

I'm really now wanting to have a lot of people around - my daughter will be with me the first day. Who are you having with you for surgery and post op recovery. Should I have my mom come in - I'm single.

I'm scheduled for the 22nd..My husband will be with me until I come out of surgery and walk the halls...I probably won't want anyone to stay over night..this way I can rest..lol

Wow! That is awesome. How are you feeling?

  • I am going to have my husband there for the surgery. My dad is coming up for the afternoon and my friend is taking off the next couple of days to be with me. I still haven't decided if I'm telling people outside of my family and close friends. I'm having my gall bladder removed also so I might just tell about that for a while.

You are so prepared. I have some things but I'm not that prepared. I'm going to make a list of what I still need and pick those things up tomorrow. Excited and nervous and hungry lol.

      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.
