12 Hours Until My Surgery Check-In!



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled to check-in for gastric sleeve surgery at 5 am tomorrow morning. I was getting a bit of cold feet earlier this week, but feel remarkable at peace about this now. After a year of pre-op appointments, an insurance nightmare, cancellation of my first surgery date iin September in the middle of my pre-op diet, and now finishing a four-week pre-op diet, I am definitely looking forward to this now!

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I'll be sure to check-in when I can. Assuming that all goes well, the plan is for me to be released the same day.

Best of luck barryswife!

      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.
