Hello everyone! I'm new...pre-op from Long Island



Recommended Posts

That does make sense...eating less in the evening. So it seems like lunch was the last meal that you replaced. That is a good idea. Maybe I will try to start thst after Thanksgiving...my surgery is not scheduled until Dec 23.

Sayville, NY here. I'm using Dr. Buchin with Huntington Hospital. I'm 2 months into my 6 month supervised diet. Will have surgery (if I get approval) on 3/13/17. I was already given a date because of school! I've heard great things about Dr. Atwa! His associate Dr. Visswinkel did my gallbladder and that whole office was great!

@@ginabee38 I'm feeling alright. Today I'm not allowed to have any Protein shakes..only Clear Liquids. I feel like I have a short fuse today. The clear liquids aren't filling but I'm trying to keep my mind occupied. I have to be at the hospital at 5am!

I'd probably have a short fuse too...the day before surgery and you can't eat to ease anxiety. I don't know if you do that also, but I think I would have a problem with that. Good luck to you...when you're feeling up to it post-op, I'd like to hear how you're 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.
