After some obstacles I have my date!



Recommended Posts

So I've been missing for a few weeks due to the fact that I got bronchitis. I was so bummed b/c I had to push back my final pre op appt twice.

I went in today and my date is in one week! October 11!!

I can't believe it's so soon. I told him I was nervous about the pre op diet and he just kinda shrugged and said, "try not to cheat but know that most people do". It seems a bit blase but I'm a low BMI patient for him so maybe he's not too worried about it.

Super nervous and excited!

@ I'm so excited for you!!! Now - stay healthy!!! I wouldn't worry about the pre-op diet. My surgeon doesn't do them for someone with your BMI. Congrats on the surgery date - it'll be here before you know it!!!

I guess every doctor must be different b/c I know some people had a SUPER strict pre op, even 2 weeks sometimes. He was just kinda like, "meh, do your best".

I know it will! I'm so scared!!

      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.
