My surgery is one week from today



Recommended Posts

I will be having my RNY on Monday, March 21st. I'm ready. This is going to be a long week, I can tell. I'm already having trouble sleeping as I just keep thinking about the surgery and the post-surgery recovery process. I'm also not sure I'm going to have the most productive week at work!

Thank god for March Madness this weekend. Otherwise I could lose my mind prior to Monday.

How exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time! Hang in there, before you know it, you'll be shopping for a smaller size clothes and wondering where all the time went! LOL

1 week from today is mine also! I go for pre-op testing tomorrow. liquid diet starts Wednesday. I think I'm more nervous about that than the actual surgery! I just started losing sleep last night. I kept waking up thinking 1 more week, 1 more week. Hoping for a better night tonight or this could be one really long week!!!!

I'm having RNY on March 22. The pre-op diet is killing me. My bariatric program is very strict...protein shakes and clear sugar free liquids only.

I am extremely fortunate as my liquid pre-op diet was waved given I have lost 42 pounds in the last five weeks. He felt I was in a good place, so he let me skip the liquid diet portion of the plan and just has me keep doing what I was doing.

      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.
