Received my surgery date



Recommended Posts

I finally have a surgery date of March 28th. It still seems so far away. I have had a pretty easy journey so far. I did all my pre surgery testing and I just finished my last dietician group meeting. Now I just wait till surgery. I did receive my 2 week pre op diet. I am glad we have the option between Protein Shakes and actual food.

March 28th is just around the corner! That is nice that you can have the option of shakes or food. My pre-op diet will be 4 Premier Protein shakes a day for a week. I did a short test run of the liquid diet last week; it wasn't so bad!

My original date was March 23rd, but they called yesterday and changed my date to April 3rd because the doctor was busy that day.

I wish you luck! We will be on the other side very soon :)

I am also scheduled for surgery 3/28. I had to do a 30 day liquid pre-op. Not so bad so far, but 4 weeks of only liquids is a long time. Where is your surgery?

Congratulations on your surgery date. I had a two week liquid diet before surgery. Wasn't that bad at all.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
