Anyone having surgery in November?



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery Nov 9th. I'm so excited alittle nervous though. I have been on liquid diet for the past week and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. 5 lbs down.

Anyone have a good post op Vitamin recommendation?

I have the same date! Yay! It won't be that long! :) on Vitamins, I went with the Bariatric Advantage chewable French vanilla for immediately post op and then I got the pill form for later in the month when it's OK to take pills again. The French vanilla are pretty good. They taste like cake mix before you add the eggs and Water.< /p>

Hi! My surgery date is Nov 10th. I'm a little nervous because I'm having my lapband removed, then getting the gastric bypass done. I'm currently on the pre-op diet, but not losing anything. My metabolism is totally screwed! Looking forward to success with the gastric bypass.

Any suggestions for someone like me who's allergic to whey Protein & whey protein isolate products? It's been tough, and I think post op will be challenging as well.

      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.
