Surgery Roux-en-y Surgery April 4!



Recommended Posts

A little nervous, but excited that it's scheduled. I've had a relatively easy time with the diet the last 6 months (seeing the weight loss @ each appt has helped...156 lbs so far). This ia my b-day present to myself as I'll turn 40 five weeks after my surgery

My pre-op diet starts tomorrow Optifast and Water only for 3 weeks and I can have 2 cups of lettuce or broccoli if I have to per day...each person is different based on their BMI and weight height ratio

Mine isn't optifast, but normal Protein Shakes and small spinach salads! How are you doing with day 1? I'm chugging water to fend off the physical hunger, but my head is throbbing!

I actually feel great besides a bit sluggish I have head cravings but as far as hunger pains I haven't had any except around the time I'm supposed to have a shake...I have taken to eating ice it really helps thwart the eating that I'm missing because you have to chew it. I didn't drink pop or coffee before this so I'm luckily not dealing with caffein withdrawal. And you can also chew sugar free gum or mints just check and make sure it has no sugar. Also Mio the squeeze things to add to Water to make juice are all sugar and calorie free

I add my Water then a bunch of ice hit it with some cinnamon and blend it and it is kind of like a chocolate milkshake I do it with the vanilla to which I prefer but they only had 2 boxes of it so I have mostly chocolate...I am on day 3 as well how are you spacing them out? I found I am hungrier at night time so still working out the kinks...where will you be getting surgery and who's your dr?

I'm really nervous too!

      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.
