Looking for post op and Pre op friends



Recommended Posts

I am Pre op i am about one month away from getting my surgery date and excited to have a life again. I am 24 years old and I am 370lbs. I can't wait to be able to go shopping with out being in pain or my hips giving out. My husband and I want to have more kids we have one 8yo son now but I can't get pregnant anymore because of my weight. I want to have fun with my son and run and go on rids and live. I just can't wait to get my life back. I hope that I can find people on here going threw what I am going threw either now or before surgery any advice or comments

Hi Healthyamy, I am pre-op as well. Only I don't have a date yet! I'm waiting for my insurance through my husbands work to start next month and go form there! Although I'm not too confident that weight loss surgery will be covered. Boo! Anyway, I'm keeping my options open and staying prayerful that I'll have the surgery sooner rather than later. I am new to this forum and know that I'll need friends as well through this process. I'd be happy to chat with you and hopefully encourage you as well. I do feel your pain about not being able to get around comfortably. Knee , back and hip pain! The struggle is real girl! Good luck with everything that is coming your way. Here's to smaller clothes in the not so distant future.

In January when I started the process I was 275lbs with the of my PCP and surgeon I lost around 10-12lbs pounds before starting the pre-op diet. After pre-op diet I lost 20-21lbs and went into surgery around 246. As of today I am 222lbs that's a total of 53 pounds.

@omerbrasa2807, that is awesome! What does it feel like to loose so much weight in such a short amount of time?

@@healthyamy, thank you! I figure if I speak it into the universe, the powers that be will set into motion the desires of my heart! I decree and declare it in the name of God!

      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.
