Thinking about Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!!

age: 24

I have been thinking about getting surgery for the last couple of months and I finally made up my mind to potentially get it this upcoming year.

Ill be attending the seminar at bellevue Hospital next week and I d like to find someone thats also interested in the surgery. Maybe we could go together and be surgery buddies. Or at least someone whos going for the same so we could text and talk about the process, share tips or even go to the gym together after.

I'm 39 and I wish I would have had surgery years ago, I missed out on so many things because I waited. I look at my future and all I see is bright shining sparkles of happiness!!!! Good Luck and Enjoy Life!!!

Hi! I live near Bellevue (Issaquah) and I'd be glad to be surgery buddies. Ive also just made up my mind to get surgery in 2017. Maybe I'll come to the seminar in Bellevue. :). I'll send you a private message too.

      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.
