Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Mine is Sept 4th, I purposely scheduled it that way so I have an extra day off work due to the Labor Day holiday. I'm curious, how much time are you guys planning to take off work? I was planning to take off Sept 4-18. I'm a social worker and I'm out in the field a lot, but my doctor said I can return after two weeks on light desk duty.

I am taking 2 weeks & I will see how it goes. I work retail so I am on my feet 8-9 hours a day

After your surgery sip Water and walk. Of course you will question your decison to have surgery. But it will all be worth it. You wouldn't have gone this route if there was a simpler way for you. Also, of course, everything about the way you eat is irrevocably changed. I am 6 weeks out. You learn to eat slowly and stop when you begin to fel full, not to be "good" but to spare yourself side effects. And it will feel great when you are out to a restaurant to have a meal with family and after eating about 1/5 of the meal in front of you push it away and say, "That was delicous. I'm done." Good luck.

      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.
