Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op on the 9th for surgery on 12th. Starting today, 2 weeks pre op I can only take Tylenol as pain med. my doctor recommends that I try to stay away from solid food as much as I can but I don't think I'll be able to.

I am hoping for April ! My first appointment is Tuesday; and will do 4 weeks of classes. I am in Fort Wayne IN. Where is everyone else having their surgery? I think I have to do 4 weeks of the Optifast drinks before surgery. Anyone else?

I'm set for April 25, 2016. First doctor visit was 07/15/2015 so it has been a long process. Start my liquid diet on April 11. Insurance is covering it, but with a $3200 deductible, it is still going to be difficult. I think insurance companies need to lower their requirements and speed up the process. If it weren't for my stubborn determination, I would have given up. I can't wait!

I'm set for 4/13 ...no time yet. Started my program in May 2015 so it's been a long process. The nice part is that there is no pre op diet per say. Only Clear liquids the day before. Even I can do that. . . Jello counts.

I'm April 13 as well, with only one day of clear liquid. I'm relived because I've heard so many that have had to go two weeks with clear liquids before surgery. Let me know how your surgery goes.

You've got it @Billsmafia. I'm freaking out a bit but surely I can manage. Where are you having surgery? I'm in Massachusetts.

It's interesting to me the different requirements among surgeons. My pre op diet is a lot less strict than some I have heard. They said I just need to stick to 1000 calories per day.

In Huntsville (North Alabama). I'm not nervous at all, but my wife, on the other hand, is freaking out a bit. Where is yours happening?

I'm headed to Worcester Massachusetts. I've debated for quite a while. I know we'll all be good.

      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.
