February 1 date....take 2, no snow this time!



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I was originally scheduled for my sleeve this past Monday, but due to the snow storm we had in the northeast last weekend, I got cancelled. My surgeon was at a conference in New Orleans, and his flight back on Sunday got cancelled. I was not a happy camper, to say the least. I've been rescheduled for February 1, and am now in week 3 of pre-op diet. I told my surgeon's assistant today that if I hear it's going to snow again this weekend, I'm picking him up personally and we'll camp at the hospital...no way is he getting out of it this time! On the bright side, I've lost 16 pounds in just this month...not a bad start!

I am sorry your surgery was delayed. My thoughts and prayers were with everyone who was scheduled for surgery during the storm. It must be aggravating and stressful.

Have faith that it will happen when it will be the safest for you.

I just wanted my surgeon to be well-rested, relaxed, and extremely focused when he performed my surgery.

      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.
