Seeing my Surgeon 9/15/15



Recommended Posts

So after seeing my surgeon on July 10th 2015 and reporting back to him my weight on a weekly basics he had his staff call me and i am going in tomorrow today at 11:45 to see him and talk to him. I am so Nervous because I REALLY hope that he has be coming in to set my date for my surgery and not just to weight me himself to make sure i am not "lying" to him. Which i have not been i have been weighting myself constantly and reporting whatever it is my scale says back to him and since the day i had seen him last i have lost 24lbs and i am proud of myself. I think i have more then shown that i am serious about loseing weight and i really doing everything i can to get rid of the weight i have on me before surgery. I STILL plan on trying to lose as much as i can before i even get to go to surgery anyways. I am just nervous and really hoping i get my date.

I hate it when someone says come see me and doesn't give any explanation of why. My brain goes into overdrive and always in the negative direction.

I hope everything goes good for you today. You are doing a great job and have an awesome mindset. You will do well. Keep us posted on how it goes.

      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.
