Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right.

My surgery date is set for September 14 in California.

I am on a liquid diet at the moment with a small meal in the evening. Headaches are awful!! But from what I've read on this site.. it gets easier!!

How are you feeling about your surgery? not long for you either. I can believe mine is in 2 days!!!

Called my case worker yesterday to go over some last minute details.

Turns out my surgery is on the 11th and not the 10th as I had originally assumed. There was a mis-communication when I booked my surgery to what I had told my case worker regarding booking.

Now I will be in TJ 2 days pre-op. Time to get in some shopping, sightseeing and POOL TIME !!

Makes me a tad nervous that I will only have 2 days post-op in the hospital instead of the optional 3.

Fingers cross there is no drainage issues before I get discharged and come home.

Sept. 9 my new life begins. Pre Op visit was yesterday and I am so excited that nervousness is not in my vocabulary.

I am Sept 17th. I start the liquid diet tomorrow and I'm freaking out - it just seems impossible. I will miss the food!

Hi there ,

I started the process mid June...I was having problems with my lapband so they did an EGD and found I had a hernia. My insurance is covering that and I'm cash pay for the remainder.

@@pindoctor I'm in the same boat. Scheduled for the 17th. Waiting for my psych to be sent to my bariatric doctor so they can send all the info to my insurance. I was told my insurance company only takes a couple days to approve so I should be fine but I started pre op diet today. ???? went pretty good.

      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.
