Finally got a date!



Recommended Posts

Hello I finally got my surgical date it's about time I did my second round of six-month appointments the nutritionist meetings everything I was told that I needed other appointments to finish my six-month schedule of appointments but that wasn't true they made a mistake and I had to make unnecessary appointments from the dietitian for them look at the records that already had been completed. I was given December 18th!!!! Yeahhhh finally after two failed lap bands i can't wait to get the bypass!!!! Hopefully at 52 years old I will heal properly and be able to go to work quick as I'm the only provider in my house. Husband has cancer and can't work and two of my youngest in college and beauty school..... Any one around my age with good results??? I'm also starting menapause

      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.
