Looking for a buddy



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I am starting my early part of the journey. I'm on my second month appts. I have had scopes and blood work all done. And have met with nutritionist twice. My insurance makes me Waite 6 months so 4 more to go before i can do surgery. Psych evaluation is next week. I would just like a friend to talk to while we are going through this together. Hoping surgery will be in may or June.

I'm expected to get my surgery in April or May. I started in November. I found out my scope test said I have the starts of Barrett's and reflux even though I have no symptoms. I had full intentions on the sleeve until then. Now I'm being told I'm most likely getting bypass. You are welcome to tag along with me during your journey. It feels like forever but it goes fast. Good luck to you!

      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.
