Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled for May 27th; I know there was a post a while ago that some people were responding to but could not find it again.. but since we are a week away now - wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? I seem to be doing Ok with the shakes, using the blender and throwing in about 10 ice cubes really makes them thick and yummy and really filling,, much more than I thought the would be. How is everyone else doing? I am very excited for the group of people that is going thru the surgery this week and my best wishes is with them!!

I have surgery scheduled for May 29th. I'm on Optifast shakes. I'm taking it one day at a time. Everyday I feel a little better. The doctors office gave me different recipes for the shakes Using ice and different sugar free extracts. I can't wait for surgery day to get here

Hi - yea I am using sugar free syrups like they use for coffee and wow they really do spruce up the shakes. I can't wait either. My surgeon said she is doing two operations on my day but because I am closer to the hospital she will probably have me go first... I think she was talking like 6:00 a.m. for when she will start on me....but of course I won't know for sure until next week...I think I am getting anxious though... it is great to talk with all of you that are in the same boat...I think that it really has actually been helping me not freak out.

I was told I can have a piece of lean Protein as needed, but I was worried it would make me hungrier if I did.

Wow looks like a bunch of us are due up first thing in the morning. I can't wait...I am hoping to stay very busy this weekend to keep my mind off of smelling any barbeques going in the neighborhood. I think that is the only thing that has got me so far... But I ignored it.

I THINK I'm the 26th but I lost almost three days to a really bad stomach flu this week. Now I'm very concerned with everything I have to get done with the holiday coming up. And I'm worried I might be weird and bloated after being dehydrated and blow my steady preop loss.

Wow the stomach flu - that is no fun anytime.. but you might be surprised what your body does as you recover. I hope you feel better,

For my Pre-op diet I am allowed 2 shakes and 1 lean Protein (3 to 6 oz) 1/2 cup of starchy food and unlimited non starchy vegies...no fruit.< /p>

I have been doing OK - but for lunch I thought I would try scrambling egg beaters... I can officially say that was not my favorite...gosh felt like a ball sitting in my stomach...yuck... has anyone tried to cook those? there must be some trick to it... kind of like the shakes...

      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.
