Anyone have November surgery date?



Recommended Posts

Hi

My date is the 19th Nov. I'm so excited!!!! A little nervous but trying not to think about it. Just thinking about the day I can go into a regular clothes shop and not feel like the sales assistant is thinking to herself "what the hell is she doing in our shop" "nothing in your size here!"

Good luck everyone!

Thank you cancer91,

I am 50, starting weigh 254, down to 233 this morning, I just finished week one of my pre op diet, (I had started higher Protein less carbs before my pre op) a week to go my surgery is scheduled for the 23rd.

The first few days on the liquid diet were difficult, now I'm not hungry forcing myself to drink the Protein Shakes (which I order through unjury)

You can add a scoop of Peanut Butter flavor protein to SF chocolate milk when you need something sweet, or a ice and strawberry flavored protein for a smoothie; those are just a couple of my favorites.

During the first few days struggles I'll share a few things that worked for me.

I had made chocolate chip Cookies for the grandchildren...the temptation got the best of me I had a very very small bite chewed real good and then spit it out I did that three times and that craving was satisfied, another time I licked a chicken nugget just two licks lol.

Well that's me up to date ;). I'd love to hear more of your stories.

      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.
