Anyone having surgery in Oct ?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Oct. 1st, 2015 in Tijuana Mexico w/Dr Ramos Kelly. The first two days were rough for me but now that I am back home I am feeling so much better! Good luck to all the October Surgeries! The journey is beginning :)

Had my last pre op appt before my surgery in two weeks! liquid diet starts today (I have been on a low carb pre op diet for the past two weeks). I can't believe how close it is, I'm pretty sure it was just last month I was starting my 6 month supervised diet. I lost 10 lbs in the first two weeks of pre op diet as well which was exciting! Hope everyone surgeries are going well!

Hello nervous nana Glad you finally got your approval!! I will add your date to our October list of Surgery's! I went to my GP and got a low dose of anxiety meds which have helped me tremendously!! Some days are worse than other's about feeling scared but this forum really helps!

Thank you so much, I need something so much for this case of nerves. I started crying when they called today. ...the coordinator was confused, she said usually they are happy....I am just a basket case. I wish I could just turn my mind off!! I wish you the very best, we are really doing this!!!

      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.
