Surgery date Sept. 30th



Recommended Posts

I am so excited, I get to have my surgery on Sept. 30th. This is day seven of my liquid diet and it is hard but I know it will be with it in the end. My pre-surgery journey has gone so fast it almost doesn't seem real. From the 1st time I saw the doctor to surgery will be 62 days. Anyone else Sept. 30th?

I have to do nothing but Clear liquids on Sunday and Monday, and of course no liquids or food Tuesday.

I am told that every surgeon is different when it comes to prep before surgery.

I have to do a liquid diet for almost 2 was before surgery. Which consists of sugar free carnation instant Breakfast and sugar free Popsicles and of course lots of Water. The day before surgery I get broth. The good news is that since I started the liquid diet I've lost 13 lbs.

Great! I'm looking forward to post surgery. My nut and surgeon said that I should lose weight quickly and have little to no sagging skin. First time I'm glad to be tall.

Mine is 9/29. My surgeon required a 3 day post-op diet but I pretty much didn't want to eat anyway. (Big shocker there for me! (-;) I just tried to make sure I got all the Protein in. Anyway, good luck to you guys! I'm so excited to have made this decision and have it FINALLY here!

      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.
