I have a surgery date - May 20!



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I've been a lurker here, reading your posts while going through all the prep steps required by insurance. Just got the letter of approval and I can't believe surgery is later this month. I'm so, so, so ready after all this waiting. Felt like it was finally time to post something.

Anyone else with a late May date?

Looking forward to journeying with you!

Congratulations on your date! My surgery is May 19th. This is my fourth week on a strict pre-op diet. So far I've lost 22.5 pounds. I'm glad you've joined us.

Where did the time go? I just had my surgical preop training, and my last preop dietary appt. today. My surgery is on the 20th, too. Next week Wednesday!!! I'm so excited. It's been a long journey already, just to get to this point.

Keep in touch ... lots of May 20th people it seems.

Congrats on getting your date. I'm right there with you too. My date is the 19th. My official pre op diet starts tomorrow. I've been trying to start early with varying levels of success. Tomorrow no more fooling around! Looking forward to keeping up with your journey along with the rest of the May club. ????

      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.
