Waiting ????????



Recommended Posts

So I first got referred for bariatric surgery in the uk January 2014 . I got my first appointment October 2014 for my initial assessment am on tier 3 weight management programme . Next appointment is December 2014 for a group seminar about diet post op back In feb 2015 for seminar about different types of surgery available . Then I will wait for another appointment then I guess I will be meeting with surgeon , psychiatrist , dietitian, anaesthetist etc.. Get the go ahead then wait for a surgery date . It has been such a long journey but I'm really ready for this now . No idea when the actual surgery date will be around anyone have any rough ideas from previous experiences ? Any similar stories I'd love to hear . Any advice welcomed .

Begin walking exercise now, it will help the recovery process go smoothly. After the operation, you will be asked to not take caffeine or carbonated beverages. I had a 6 diet Coke a day habit before surgery. I went cold turkey 6 months before surgery and had major withdrawal syndrome with severe headaches that lasted over a week. This withdrawal syndrome is common with people. It is better to go cold turkey now and suffer for a week than add this complication right after surgery.

Ok thanks . Am not fizzy drinks person though . I've started juicing fruits and vegetables to increase my 5 a day . I'm a vegetarian so my main obstacle will be avoiding carbs like bread , Pasta , rice , potatoes is basically what I've been use to and is not really going to be ideal post op ????

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
