Insurance approved! 10/19 is surg date/would love a buddy!



Recommended Posts

This all happened so quickly! I had my first appt on 8/28, and now surg on 10/19! I am feeling every emotion possible. This is a big step for me, and something I have dreamed about for 20 years!! (maybe lots more). I was not required by insurance to take more than one nutrition class, so I feel like I'm missing out on some good info. I would love a buddy!

Hi all! I 2as sleeved on 10/27 and right now I'm in phase 2, which is all liquids. I start phase 3 on sunday. That is soft, mushy Proteins. Can't wait to get to phase 3, it'll be real food. Right now I'm living on Water, hot tea, Protein Shakes, and high Protein hot cocoa. I want to chew something! How is everyone doing on their diets??

I had my surgery on 10/19 as well! I just started phase 3. I would love to connect with people that had surgery on the same date, I haven't even considered that til I read your post. I would like to know how you are and where you are in your process (as well as the other's who have posted stating they are interested in a buddy and had surgery around the same time we did). I've lost 25 lbs so far but I was required to do the 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet. I look forward to hearing from you all!

      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.
