Got my surgery date today!



Recommended Posts

I have been over weight for what seems like forever. I am 5'9" and heavy weight of 282. I am down to current weight of 260 with a goal of below 160. I am so ready for this! I had a heart attack on 7/9/2015 and have several other health problems as well. Arthritis in my back hinders a lot of activity and I am looking forward to that improving with less weight to carry. All pre surgery testing scheduled for 2/14/2017 :) any advice on the clear liquid diet would be appreciated. I have chosen a few different Protein drinks to get me through so I should be good there. Any other February 2017 R N Y patients out there?

Yay!!! I got my date last week and had planned on 2/20 but settled on 2.28 so my mom could be here. I'm so ready - I've always been athletic and still play softball weekly and do kickboxing but thanks to PCOS and other stuff it's hard for me to lose weight. I'm about to be 32 and need an extra tool in dropping weight with the main goal of getting pregnant for the first time shortly. I recommend Unjury Protein Drinks and their chicken broth and u flavored Protein to help get your protein in. I wonder if there is a good forum for the 2 week pre op diet anywhere ...... good luck!!!!

      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.
