Impatient As Ache Eee Dbl Toothpix



Recommended Posts

I SOOOOO want to get started and feel like I am moving forward. Monday was my seminar and I have taken the information and run with it. I looked at the check list in my information package and burst from teh starting blocks. I called my Ins. and confirmed my requirements. I set up my physical exam and contacted my psychologist for his evaluation. (surgeon said to use him since he has my history). I have had my labs and Friday will consult with PCP for referral. I signed up for the My Health Manager web page that we are required to sign up for and filled out the two hour history they asked for. My program coordinator has not yet given me the post-seminar call. I realize that I am impatient, but I have waited all my adult life for something like this and so want to get it under way. :eek:

Anyone else in the same boat>>>>>>>>

Hi Krinannie,

I'm in Australia, so not quite so much to go through. I have been to my seminar and even before that I had decided this is what I wanted. My first appointment is on Tuesday, then the following week I see the dietician and then back to the surgeon the week after. I'm hoping by that time that he says yes and I'm hoping for a date either in mid November or in the new year.

Let me know how you go with all your appointments.

      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.
