Last Appointment coming up Anxious but yet scared looking for a mentor



Recommended Posts

My last appointment with the NUT and the surgeon is coming up in 2 weeks. Then submitting to Insurance. Preop labs of Vitamins done and fortunately everything was perfect!!!! I am getting excited but also a little comprehensive. Worried about the surgery since I have never had any surgery before. Worried this won't work for me. What if I don't lose weight??? Any inputs would be appreciated.

They are making your stomach much smaller, so you will feel full a lot sooner. No question it will work for you.

Thanks, I truly hope so. I already have my Protein Shake but need to get a clear Protein to add to Water. I have a great support team including a new fiancé who wants me to be healthy not just a smaller size. But so worried about this. Most diets have failed for me, but then again I guess that's why I am going for the surgery LOL

You're in good company here!

I drank the Isopure ready-to-drink (RTD) bottles of clear Protein for 3 days after surgery. The large bottles have 40 grams of Protein

You are so lucky to have the support in going through this journey it is going to help you out so much. Nerves are to be expected, but you just have to have faith and go into it saying im taking my life back, because that is ultimately what this whole process is about. good for you finding Protein supplements ahead of time I should have followed through on that. It is a hard journey im not gonna lie, but once you are healed it is completely worth it. Best of luck to you and your new life let me know if you have any questions id be happy to 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.
