Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I just found out I am approved for surgery, and have a surgery date!! I am traveling to a center of excellence in Mexico for my surgery. I am full of so many different emotions, but the biggest one is excitement!

My surgery is scheduled for August 29th. I am really excited/nervous...and a whole mess of other emotions. It's FINALLY all coming together. I'm done caring about what other people think of my decision. This was not an easy decision, or me taking the "Easy Way" out. Thanks for the congrats :) The well wishes mean a lot. You are doing really well since your gastric sleeve. If you could tell your preop self one or two things you wish you knew before surgery what would it be?

      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.
