Surgery moved up!



Recommended Posts

When I quit my job the other day I emailed the people doing my surgery and asked if they had any earlier dates I could take now I would be home sooner . I got an email back yesterday and it looks like I'm having surgery February 2nd!

surgery moved up!

@@perforce

when was your initial scheduled date??

that's great having surgery done earlier than expected

usually goes the other way around

since surgery is earlier than planned

maybe you could brush up on more info

you can never learn toooo much

knowledge is power!!!

maybe practice not drinking for 45-60 minutes after you eat

don't drink through a meal!! (people have been shot for less) :lol:

drink 64 oz of Water a day

stop drinking soda

many other rules too hopefully provided by your NUT

if you don't want to do any of the above

then the helllll with you :D

watch out for those grand-hogs

if you see them, does that mean you have 6 more month of success??? LOL

take care bud

Groundhog day is when Americans check if winter is going to be longer right? Or more importantly, an awesome movie with Bill Murray.

I have no NUT. Or pre op diet save reducing a few medicines and avoiding a few foods that naturally thin the blood. I'm self pay in Europe so the process is a little different. I already drink enough Water and I stopped drinking soda years ago when I was about 12, so neither of those is a worry. Not drinking through a meal is really going to suck for me, but I'm back home for the month before surgery so I think I'll start practicing then.

I was initially meant for July 5th, but with me going back to the UK 6 months early I'm now free to have it done whenever they have an opening.

      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.
