October List of Surgery's



Recommended Posts

@@aranushka My surgery is the 26th. I understand what you mean about owing it to your kids. I'm 55 and have a 12-year-old. I lost 70 pounds the old-fashioned way when he was 2, but haven't been able to continue nor keep it all off, so I'm having RNYGP.

I'm not thinking about it more than I must. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. :)

Good luck to you!

I was supposed to have my surgery mid November but the office called me Friday and said they had October 27th available since I had completed all of my pre-op requirements so they kinda caught me a little of guard I'm really excited as I have been working toward this for a little over 6 months now (I even lost 49 pounds following the NUT advice) but I am also really nervous ????

@@kvoneye I had to take magnesium citrate to clean out my colon. You will only be on Clear Liquids that day the day before surgery. My hospital recommended Propel zero or Powerade zero to drink all day because of the loss of electrolytes during this process. Just be careful not to wipe too hard after you go to the bathroom or you will become sore from wiping so much that day.

      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.
