Who's having surgery the week of 9/21?



Recommended Posts

I started my 6-month appointments on 4/1 and finished them on 9/8. At that appointment, the surgical coordinator at my doc's office scheduled surgery for 9/24. He then submitted the paperwork for approval from the insurance company. Got a call today that the insurance company approved the surgery - so I'm all set for next Thursday. I've been on a liquid diet since 9/10 and so far, so good - though I know I'm not getting close to my 1,000 calories in. Honestly, it's all happening so quickly that I'm waiting for a monkey wrench to play into the mix.

I'm excited/nervous/etc. Who's having surgery with me next week and where are you located? I'm having my surgery at NYU in NYC.

I have to push mine off. I had an endoscopy today and my stomach and esophagus are filled with ulcers. I'd rather be healthy than have more of a risk - so I'll wait patiently. :)

Surgery scheduled 9/22! The liquid diet is a beast, getting a little easier, and today when I weighed in at my pre-op visit I was down 6 pounds from last week. Hanging in there, only a few more days to go!

      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.
