Pre-Op... Two more steps done and out of the way!



Recommended Posts

I'm feeling really good today :)

Had my psych eval - PASSED :)

Had my pre-op w/ Nut - PASSED :)

Lost another 4 pounds - :D

I have my 4th physician supervised visit next Tuesday, then I only have 2 more visits with her to go, and I'm off to insurance approval.

I also went to My bariatric pantry website today and ordered all of the sample packs of Protein powders. I'll report back on what I think of them. I already received my sample packs of unjury... tried the chocolate Splendor already... not the best I've ever had, but it is tolerable. My current favorite is still Muscle Milk Cookies & Cream :lol:

Muscle Milk Cookies and Cream really is the best tasting Protein powder out there!! My local Walmart used to have it but they don't now so I'll be ordering it online!!!

My surgeon requires the 6 month supervised diet to be done with the program dietitian and I had my last pre-op appointment with her this afternoon! They may have already submitted to insurance, if not it will be done tomorrow morning.

Found out my insurance requires a pre op medical clearance before they will approve..... so. threw me back a couple of days however tomorrow is that appointment. Everything will go to insurance tomorrow and already have lab slip for gall bladder ultrasound. EKG is already completed since the doc said within the year was good.

      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.
