November Surgery Dates Anyone? Let's Connect!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is November 10th. I am on Day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet and I am still VERY hungry. How is everyone else doing on their liquid diets?

I'm LOL because I know you and I started the liquid diet at the same time, and today I want to chew my arm off. I've had so much to drink I feel like I'm going to drown, but I really want to "eat" something. With my docs orders I'm allowed to have something lite as an evening meal like a salad, but i did that last night, and it just didn't cut it.

I'm chewing gum.....

Hello, all. This is my first time on this website.

I'm scheduled for RNY this Thursday, Nov. 6th. I am so anxious to get it done. I'm on day 3 of a 5 day clear liquid pre-op diet. I also have a slight head cold/sinus infection. Grr. I got an antibiotic yesterday, and hope all stays well and out of my chest, so that they don't have to reschedule surgery.

Question: My tummy is rumbling with gas. I'm assuming from all liquids? Has anyone else had this? What did you consume during Clear Liquids?

Thanks for any and all support!

Hi. I sure hope you're better by Thursday. The antibiotics should help. If it were under different circumstances I'd tell you to have a couple shots of good bourbon with some honey in it and call me in the morning...... :D All kidding aside, I hope you feel better, and all goes smoothly for you on Thursday. Good Luck.

Dabliss thank you for the good, warm thoughts!! I got the call earlier that I check in at 10:15am tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to a successful surgery, and for Jenn, shellbell79, and Lashante23 (Who should've been done today) to all be successful. I'll be in touch as soon as possible because I need to be there for the rest of my November buddies!!

Hi everyone! My surgery date is November 24th. I'm starting to have a mix of emotions I'm excited but a little nervous at the same time.

Mine is the day after. It's been such a long journey for me that it doesn't seem like it's really only 22 days away! Woo-hoo!

We've got this!

@@Time4ChangeNY - welcome! My surgery is the same day as yours. I am having an RNY - what are you having done? No liquid diet for me preop except for the day before. I don't know why some docs require that and others don't. I figure I will be way too stressed out the day before anyway to eat!

Hi. and Welcome to our little group. Your surgery is the day after mine. I'm going to add you as a friend. How's the liquid diet going for you? I'm hanging in there with it, but seem to always get a headache in the afternoon.

Keep in touch.

Deb

Deb, are you weening off caffeine? That'll give you some headaches..

      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.
