Looking for 10/13 surgery buddies



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

My surgery is on 10/13. I have gone to all my appointments and fine everything required for surgery.

I'm feeling superrrr excited and can't wait till Monday.

Ps. This pre-op diet SUCKS, but I'm sticking to it 100%.

What's your story?

Hi Marielbx, I'm with u on the 13th. Like you, getting really excited! I've had to do a 2 week liquid diet; I think yesterday was hardest for me, I was just hungry ALL day!! I got through it though, and today hasn't been that bad. Can't believe it's getting soooo close now! Good luck to you, I'll be thinking about you.

I'm also on the 13th!!!! Super excited, but nervous. I got all of my test results back this week. My Vitamin D levels were low, so I started taking a supplement. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet; I just have to do a liquid diet the day before. Good luck to you both!

I'm not the 13th, but is the 14th close enough??? I would do really bad things for some Mexican food right now, but I guess that's why I'm in this situation! Have you come up with any good ideas for broth?

Good luck on Monday!

Thank you. I'm excited for us both!

And I would do really bad things for Mexican too!

I made chicken Soup w onion, pepper, carrots, garlic, pumpkin & plenty of cilantro. I then separated the broth from the chicken & veggies & saved it to purée for after surgery.

I also made a turkey chili w kale, carrots, peppers, black Beans & tomatoes. Idk about the Beans in the beginning. It's been fart city today' ????

Tomorrow I am making a butternut squash, tofu Soup.< /p>

Good luck on Tuesday & keep me posted on ur recovery!

I can't believe the day is so close either. Today was okay, but Tuesday was super hard for me. I was starving all day and had a huge Migraine. I'm focusing in the surgery to get me through it.

Please keep me posted on ur recovery.

What foods have u been eating for the preop diet?

I'm scheduled to have surgery on 10/13 too. I can't believe that it will be here so soon! I am only required to do the liquid pre-op diet for the day before, but I have been doing it since Monday just to get used to it.

Nice to meet all of you!

I have had to do the three shakes a day and Clear liquids in between. On those days I felt really hungry I ate a few almonds. NUT said that was ok; just no carbs. Can't believe we are 4 days away!! I'm ready to get this done!

Sadly, my insurance decided YESTERDAY that they need 3 more months of nutrition classes. I'm very upset, sad... So dissapointed because I've done EVERYTHING. I've been doing my liquid diet & all.

I gave myself Friday & Saturday to cry about it & although I'm still upset I'm staying to get over it.

My surgery has been rescheduled for January 19,15.

With that being said I want to wish ALL of you the best of luck tomorrow! Please keep me posted on your progress!

      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.
