Anyone having surgery Feb. 15th?



Recommended Posts

Started the pre op diet yesterday...needless to say, was not in the best of moods last night and had a major headache! Today is a new day though. I went in for my pre op appointment this morning and I guess that's the last thing, until my surgery on the 15th. I'm ready to get this thing done! Anyone else ready? ????

Hi songsmith! I am having my sleeve done February 15th also. I am so excited but a little nervous my dr. didn't mention any pre op diet. Have you started a pre op diet yet?

My surgery is 2/16. Started my 2 week preop diet yesterday which consists of Protein Shakes, broth, SF Jello and SF Popsicles. Days are ok but evenings with the family are rough!! More nervous about the preop diet then I am the surgery!!

Hi Shiloh 2004! We have pre op spot. the same date as well as our sleeve on the 15th. ????. Good luck to you!!

Newbe312, we are going to be so successful at this. My pre op visit didn't amount to much. A bunch of medical history, an EKG, blood work, and x-rays. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 AM on the 15th, and my surgery is scheduled for 9:30. My surgeon wants me up and walking as much as possible on the day of surgery. I supposedly get out the next day in the afternoon. What about you? How are you doing on your pre op diet? My biggest problem is finding the energy to exercise, but I try to do it every day. Best of luck to you! Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Hi Shiloh 2004! My preop visit was spent going over what to do for preop diet and getting ready day of surgery. I won't find out until Friday what time the surgery is scheduled for. I have to call between 2-4. Just started preop diet today. I only have to do 5 days...Missing my morning bagel but I know I can do this!!! And we are going to be successful! How is your preop diet going? Best of luck on surgery day!! I am sending hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery!! ????

Yes, I began my pre-op diet on Feb. 1. It certainly hasn't been easy, but I will make it. 4 days and counting until surgery. That's when my new, healthier, happier life will begin! Can't wait!

      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.
