Recommended Posts

So I paid for my surgery and hospital fee! Omg this just got real! My surgery is set for Monday 11am but have to be there @8! I've been super emotional and praying everything will go great! I have so much to live for! My son, my family, & accomplishing my dreams! I know this is for me and my future! This is life changing! I'm nervous, scared, excited, & trying to stay positive!

I keep thinking of how amazing my life and health will be after its al done. Best of luck to everyone!

I think it's natural to be a little scared. I mean this is a big deal! There's no going back once it's done and that is exactly why I am doing it. I'd rather not go back to this miserable state I'm in now. I thought about this when I was in my 20's and backed out because mentally I wasn't "there" yet, but God, I wish I could have been "there" and done it, because I would be so much healthier now if I had. No one can tell you when the right time

is, but I will tell you that I've lost valuable years I can never get back being stuck in this fat suit unable to do what I want because I was too afraid. I'm not afraid now (yet anyway) although I did have heart palpitations the moment they said 90 day pre operative routine instead of 6 months physician supervised diet.

      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.
