Jan 2017 Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

So I finally got the insurance approval. Finished everything they told me. I have my surgery schedule for Jan 19th, God willing. 22 days to go.

Omg, this is really happening?! I'm so grateful that this is really happening for me. I can't believe it.

So I have to be on an all liquid diet prior to the surgery for 2 whole weeks. So after new years, I'm gonna try to cut back as much solid food as possible to hopefully help the transition to all liquids only. I hope I don't mess up.

I'm so sick of hearing about how people fail. And put all the weight back on.

I know I've done bad these last few weeks. Nov 22 was the 3 yr anniversary of my Step Moms death, I was a little down. And last week was the 1 year anniversary of my uncles death. But worst of all, my sister inlaw was in a coma since the beginning of Dec and we found out she was brain dead & she passed away last Tuesday on the 20th of December. Her funeral was last night. As if saying good by to a sister wasn't tough enough. My uncle on my father's side died on Christmas morning.

Not that it is an excuse, but I haven't been eating well. And I'm mad at myself, but I'm going to get it back together.

Is anyone else having surgery in January?

      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.
