June 24th! Any late June surgeries?



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing, feeling? Getting close.

I start my pre-op diet on Monday, so I'm planning a fun weekend. I've been slowly making changes so it will be easier. I feel myself getting more and more nervous/anxious. How have you been?

I had my fun weekend last week. Today I skipped a work luncheon. It would be too hard to be there as it is day 5 of my opti-fast diet. It is not that bad but I think I am a little bit depressed. I want to be the person so excited that surgery is so near but I think I am scared and it is over powering excitement.

I've been reading some other comments and it seems common to have reservations prior to surgery. It will all be over soon. I try to focus on how I will look and feel after surgery.

Feeling excited and anxious! The countdown to the 24th has begun. Been going through some old clothes that have been too small for years. Can't believe I will be able to wear them again. It's sinking in that I will be able to enjoy life in a whole new way.

Good luck to everyone. Let's keep each other posted on our journeys!

      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.
