Anyone looking at an August surgery date?



Recommended Posts

I will be having my surgery on 8/2 and am so excited. I have been working on this since 12/15 and have implemented so many changes in my life to help me succeed with surgery. Let's synch up

Would anyone want to do a private Facebook group for August so that we can keep in touch and support each other? I can make one if so :)

My last appointment for my supervised weight loss will be at the end of July so I'm looking at a sleeve date in August and would love to find some others that will be sleeved around that time as well. I think it would be awesome to keep track of each other via Facebook and have a mini support group!

Ok all, I've created a closed group on Facebook called "BP August 2016" so please do a search for it and you can join! A closed group means that anyone can search for it and see who's in it, but all posts are private. I've kept the group name vague and I won't write a description for those who are not comfortable openly sharing their journey with everyone on their Facebook (like me!). After we have enough members we can discuss maybe making the group entirely private, but that would mean we couldn't be found in a search and others would need to request to join in here, rather than on facebook.

So, yay! Come join! Let's keep in touch and cheer each other on!

Just got my date, surgeon had an opening July 18th so I jumped on it, that means I'm only 10 days away, so crazy! Good luck to all of you and let me know if you have any questions!

Congrats!!!! Way to go. I asked to be on the cancellation list, so if anyone from my surgeons office cancelled I could move my date up! No luck so far.

It's my understanding a lot of patients back out last minute. Maybe you'll luck out

I tried to search for this group (in the groups section) but no results :( Could you post a link to the group?

I had trouble too but I found it. Here's how I found it on the mobile version of FB....

I went on my main FB feed page.

At the very top there is a search option.

Type in:BP August 2016

At the top of this search are the options Top, Latest, People... Etc.

If you keep scrolling over you will see "Groups"

Click on Groups and it pops right up.

      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.
