Recommended Posts

So how are you feeling today? Hopefully better, I can't believe that this weekend has finally gotten here. I know I really started this process in January once I found out my insurance started covering this procedure for the first time, but even from then it seems like it has taken a long time. I can't even believe that some of you had do the 6 month diet with the NUT... that would have drove me crazy!!

I'm still a little off, but all better. My last weigh in I had gone up .4 lbs which bummed me out because I had probably lost decently since the previous weigh-in but I was still holding all my fluids after being dehydrated for two days.

My insurance referral status is still listed as pending. I check it every 20 minutes but no one said anything about any worries. (I just discovered the referral page in my chart accidentally anyway, everything has gone along this whole time without me looking once.)

All I have to say is if I take all the "cleansing" medicine on Monday and show up Tuesday, this thing is on, so help me.

I'm May 26th and don't have to be there until noon. I'm very nervous, but excited. My anxiety is going crazy though. The shakes aren't too bad but I've had a cold this week and couldn't smell all the delicious food my family has been eating! I'm so shocked that I don't miss Diet Coke. I've loved diet coke forever but I haven't found myself missing it at all during the liquid diet.

I honestly can't believe I haven't cheated. I guess I'm too anxious about the surgery to do it! I've also basically been a shut-in for the last week while I'm doing liquids. It helps to not be around food. My 10 day liquid diet became a 9 day diet thought because it was supposed to start on my birthday and my surgeon said I could start the day after. =)

I am scared to death! Excited, but scared. I was freaking out earlier and panicking and I emailed my surgeon and probably sounded like a lunatic but between his reassurance and this site, I'm feeling a lot better.

I am due at Admitting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled for 11:45 but I imagine since I'm not first up it could be almost anytime in early afternoon.

I am generally pretty OK with the surgery itself. I only had to liquid diet yesterday and today and yesterday morning my slight hunger and excitement were making lovely butterflies in my stomach and I felt almost high. Then the PEG 3350 (or "poop" medicine) sort of ruined that! Now I keep having waves of "This is crazy!" but still no worries over the surgery itself which is either confidence or lack of insight. Eh, I'll take it.

I'm not due in until noon and surgery at 2pm. I hate having to wait all morning to go in! I have no poop medicine, is that a good thing or bad thing? Lmao!

Yeah my heart is just pounding sometimes and going "is this real? Am I really doing this?" And then I get excited about thinking about afterwards.

      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.
