Sept 1st is surgery date!



Recommended Posts

Just found this app and I'm already finding it beneficial to read everyone experiences and stories. Anyone out there with surgery on Sept 1st? My 2 week Protein diet starts Aug 18th and boy am I nervous. I hope my husband can bare the crabbiness because without food I don't know how I will cope :) my doctor said I don't have to lose any certain amount of weight before surgery but I do need to do the pre diet. Through my blood work, a stomach infection was found...can't remember what it was called but Dr plans to biopsy my stomach at time of surgery to figure it out and then I will be on antibiotics. I'm getting nervous as I get closer to surgery date, my life is about to change forever. I can't wait to not have to squeeze into a chair anymore, getting a seatbelt on will be no problem, not have to shop for clothes in plus sizes, and most of all being physically active right along with my kids. I don't want my weight to control me anymore, so come on Sept 1st!!!!!

      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.
