Surgery date set!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I spoke to my surgical coordinator yesterday and my surgery is set for Monday, December 7th. Looks like I'll be celebrating the night before at my sister in laws bridal shower with the liquid diet :blush:

Isn't it a great feeling to finally be scheduled! I'm scheduled for exactly one week after you 12/14/15, I'm also pretty scared of the liquid diet BUT...It'll be nothing compared to the first few months after surgery. The journey is going to be SO WORTH the destination of true health. Congratulations!! :D

My surgery was on Nov. 10th. The 1st is the worst. I was nauseous all day.

I'm being sleeved on 12/2. My pre-Op appointment is this Tuesday ???? it's getting down to the wire, and I'm so ready to get it done and start my new life! In some ways it feels like it will be here before I know it, in others it feels as if it will never get here. Just a little over 2 wks left

It will get there. Enjoy it. 2nd read as much as you about it. I should have read a lot more about it. I don't regret it. But it's a lot of things you can't do ,meaning household work , bending and waking your dogs.

      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.
