UPDATE// Maybe February surgery



Recommended Posts

I wanted to give you guys an update on how things are going with my Journey. So far I have loss 15 pounds of the 22 pounds I need to loss for the surgery. I got my Psychosocial clearance. I met with the Pulmonologist to test my lung strength, and he said my lungs are fine. Friday he wants me to get a chest x-ray and blood test to check my oxygen level, once that's done I see him in two weeks. He said if those test come back normal then he'll give me clearance for the surgery. On the 21st of Jan I have my last appointment with my Nutritionist and if I loss the 7 pounds my surgery date with be schedule. I'll have to do more blood work before the surgery. So, if my blood work looks good I should have my surgery mid February. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time! All of this is taking place during my last semester of college. I'm graduating in May with my Bachelors degree, I'm starting an internship with a foster care agency in Jan, and I got accepted for graduate school in VA so I will possibly relocate in Aug from NY to VA. There is a lot going on! But I'm determined to get everything done.

      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.
