6 days until surgery



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who isn't feeling too nervous about the surgery? I'm more so anxious than nervous. I cannot wait. I'm ready for Tuesday to be here.

I'm Tuesday too and feel the same. I'm ready mentally and excited too. I have had 8 days pre-op so far and list 14lbs or 1 stone in our UK money! And it had motivated me to what can be archived. Good luck!

Congrats on everyone's upcoming surgery!

Even though I'm nearly 14 months out, I can easily remember the sweet anticipation of surgery like it was yesterday.

I was so calm and serene going in I think I reached the master level of zen. Hold onto that faith and it will do you well. I have zero regrets and would do it all over again without hesitation. I'm confident that you'll feel the same.

You're going to love your new lives! Best of luck!

I too am oddly super calm and in a zone. I'm ready like never in my life for anything as ready as I am for this. I'm done with high sugars, insulin shots that only put on more weight and recurrent UTIs due to those high sugars. I'm insulin resistant and done with it. Omg. Good luck everyone.

@@TAJ718 I had a requirement to lose 40 pounds prior to surgery. I just lost an additional 10 almost 11 pounds, but the more the better I say! ????

My pre-op diet started yesterday and I am on liquids, broth, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free Popsicles, and Proteins all week and nothing but Clear Liquids on Monday, the day before surgery.

@@MicheleLeilani Wow! Congratulations on the weight loss surgery buddy. I wish I could say the same thing, I've only lost 14 out of the 15 required pounds. Hopefully I will be able to lose more by Tuesday.

Mine is Tuesday too, and I'm not nervous at all. More excited and this is all over due. I've been wanting this surgery for 12 years.

And this liquid diet is a breeze! I hate saying that but I'm staying full with the shakes and lots of Water. I do get cravings and head hunger.

Good luck to all my surgery buddies!!

I whole I do get pretty full from the shakes, my head is telling me that I want all the bad stuff. I'm kinda glad I'm going though the liquids because it's allowing my to start this on the right foot and in the right mindset to be super successful.

What are these nutrition classes about. I see everyone posting them and I get what they are about but two months long?... who makes you do these. I do have to go to a nutritionist and take a class but it doesn't take two months and it isnt added on to my 6 month required supervision time. Please enlighten me someone!

      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.
