Anticipating August surgery date! Would love to have FB support if can?



Recommended Posts

Hi all....my last visit was on Friday 7/8/16...jst waiting on PCP to send in his "Support Letter" (which the nurse sd by this Friday 7/15) & then Midwest Bariatrics (of Neenah, WI) will submit everything for approval (I don't foresee a problem at all)....

I asked how long after approval do they usually schedule surgery .... She said only two weeks!! ....yaaaay! I asked if there was a preop liquid diet.... She said no just continue to eat how you're eating your liver should be small enough.... So I anticipate an August date!! I can't wait ...so it seems more real!!!

I do have a FB That I specifically made for bariatric support.... And I would love anyone who wants to add me to feel free!! Especially anyone who has surgery in August!! Obviously I would love to have people who have been through it (to answer any questions)... Also anyone who is anticipating it (who has any questions)....plz let me know if you want to add me!! Thank you for your time & support!!!

      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.
