Surgery on Monday 02/02/15!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new to this forum. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on monday the 2nd of February. I'm so excited! I got approval on a Monday and was scheduled just one week later. I wasn't expecting it to come so fast but they had a cancellation so I took it. I'm on my pre op diet, 4 days in and it's horrible! I'm really not hungry but my brain isn't doing well lol. I'm in a brain fog and this fatigue is awful. I can't hardly type but my brain won't let me sleep.

I've been working towards this surgery for 13 months now, finally!! I'm so close. I've been struggling with my weight since I had my first son. Since he was born I stayed big and can't seem to lose more than 20 lbs. I'm 5'2, 254 pounds as of Thursday. My goal ultimate goal is 140 but I'll be super happy if I can get back to 160. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right group or forum or whatever it's called. I think I can sleep better knowing I can look to this app for advice and support. :))

Great to hear. We can do this together. I am feeling okay, not the greatest but that can be expected after surgery. My biggest problem is the gas pain in my stomach. Other than that everything is 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.
