Surgery Scheduled for July, Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is July 10! Pre op appointment in two days. Very excited even though it is close it stills seems like it is dragging. I need to push my self to get serious about this pre op diet. It is just hard to know that I will not be able to eat certain foods.

My surgery is July 17. My last appt is July 7. My pre op diet starts July 3. I feel you about the pre op. I started a pre pre op diet to jump start me for my official pre op. Its been very helpful. I now have more confidence that I will be strong enough to endure it because my cravings are not as strong.

How are you doing on the liquid diet? My program allows for one meal a day of Protein and non-starchy veggies, which is a god-send. I've really been sticking to it and I'm proud of myself. Today I did get some major head hunger in the afternoon. I honestly felt like a cookie junkie.

I am so miserable bit I am pushing through. I have to drink 4 Optifast (gag) shakes a day and lots of Water. I can drink broth eat Jello and popsicles. I am praying its all worth it.

I'm due in in 12th July and started my pre-op diet a few days early.

I think I'm comparatively lucky as it's all real food, albeit very low in carbs, calories and fat.

I'm finding motivation comes easily. Knowing that the pre-op diet reduces chances of complications focussed the mind for me.

      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.
