Not following my surgeons recommendations....



Recommended Posts

BECAUSE he keeps thinking I had Gastric Bypass and not the Sleeve! My 6 month check up is this week and I'm not even excited for it. Starting weight 276 in January, Surgery weight April 15th 255 and current weight 199.5 (yay!) I've been told by my surgeon I'm not losing as fast as everyone else and to eat 3 meals a day with no Snacks. Well too bad because I continue to eat 5 small healthy meals a day and I think I'm doing great so he can shut it! :)

Aside from fuss at you, he can't undo your surgery. Welcome to onederland.

Seems fast to me. Seems to me the longer one goes super low cal, the more messed up the metabolism for life. Slow and steady is awesome.

​Sounds pretty good to me and I DID have bypass! :) How annoying that he can't get that right! Read your dang notes! What if there was something else really important you needed him to remember? Dr's get on my last nerve sometimes! I know they can't remember all of us, but that's why there is a medical file....

Are you sure he did the surgery you were expecting? Maybe he forgot which one he was suppose to do and did the bypass! What a douche.

Yes I've reminded him at previous post op appts then he reads his notes and says "oh yeah." He probably could have retired 10 years ago ;)

      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.
