FINALLY! March 14th!



Recommended Posts

I got my approval today! March 14th is the day. I'm super excited. I've got my bone density scan and RMR to do, then it's go time! Anybody else have a March date? Also, pre op diet starts Feb 28th. For those who have already done the pre op diet, any tips?

Congrats! To get thru the pre op phase and even 2 weeks post, just suck it up and know it gets better. We all got tired of it and you will too so just acknowledge it and focus on the big picture - you.

I'm March 14 too! In Melbourne Australia. I have just been on a cruise and ate because I could without my band. Thinking of going on shakes at least one meal soon.

Well, my surgery date has been moved back. April 10th now. I work for the school system here and that is the week before spring break. So I'll have more recovery time and won't have to use all my sick days. SOOOO, the good thing is, it gives me more time to prepare. But I was really hoping to be able to get it done in March!

      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.
