November Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! New here :)

I am getting ready to go to my pre-op class for gastric bypass surgery! I have a surgery date of November 17th, and I am super excited, but also a little nervous..

Does anyone else on here have a November surgery date?

Maybe we could help each other prepare for what lies ahead :)

Hi!! I'm watching the weather forecast and I see my surgery date (November 4th) on the 7 day forecast!! I am psyched!! I am ready to start the next phase of this journey. More importantly, I have some fears and concerns, but my dreams of what I'll be able to do physically (Ride amusement park rides with children, fly comfortably, travel, exercise, run 5k's and 10k's for diabetes, breast cancer, etc..) The fears grow smaller and the excitement, joy, and hope grow bigger!! Let's do this together with more if our November buddies!!!!

Hey! I'm new here as well! My surgery date is November 11th. I'm nervous and excited since November is inching closer and closer. So glad to see there are others who are having surgery in the same month :)

I'm so glad to hear that there are others going through this at the same time. I'm sure our fears will go away soon after the surgery when the weight starts to fall off! Keep me posted about your future success please! I'd love to hear about it!

That's great! It is very exciting. I haven't really been nervous yet, I'm hoping it won't all hit me right before they put me to sleep. Lol.

      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.
