Half way through pre-op checklist



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I guess I'll share a little about me... I'm 29, I'm married for the second time and we have a 14 month old that I'm running after 100% of the time when we're at home. I have PCOS and I'm diabetic. My current weight is 305 from my last doctor visit.

I decided on the RNY procedure and I'm more excited than anything!!

I had my consult on the last day in November, met with the psychiatrist, had my panel of blood tests done and my EDG is Thursday. The reality of all this is settling in and I'm pushing myself to get a grip on eating better pre-op so I have that mindset post op. I have a total of 3 weigh-ins and I'm on #2 today.

It's not a ton left to do so I'm playing the waiting game.

You'll do great. I am so much more fun to my kids now, and they love their new mommy.

I had RNY and love it. I spent one night in the hospital and was back at work in five days.

Congrats!

Set better eating goals for yourself now, but START and start small so you set yourself up for success. If you don't drink Protein Shakes start now so you start dropping some of the weight before you start your liver reduction diet. It will make it easier when you do. Try Premier Protein shakes they are the highest in Protein. I had to play the waiting game to but can't believe I'm on the other side! Soon you will be too!:)

      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.
