May 8th! Any May surgeries out there?!



Recommended Posts

Mine is at 10:30. The pre-op diet was hardest the first three days for me. But I've lost almost 20lbs so that has kept me motivated. Good luck!


Omg you're so lucky Ive only lost 10 [emoji30] . I walk everywhere and been taking stairs. But I also have been on my menstrual so idk if that makes a difference. Yesterday I weighed 203. When I started the pre op I was 213.

Had my surgery in New York on Star Wars day! (May 4th) So far so good. A lot of acid but hopefully as days go by it'll subside.

Had my surgery at New York Presbyterian, performed by Dr. Afaneh. One of the first doctors to use robotics while performing VSG's. He said the surgery couldn't have gone any more perfect.

HW: 233
CW: 225.5
GW: 130

To everyone awaiting there surgery, it's going to be tough. Your throat is going to hurt because of the breathing tube, you're going to feel very groggy because you're pumped with many meds prior and during surgery. You might ask yourself "wth did I get myself into?" because I am not afraid to admit I asked myself. But, it will get better as days pass.

Plus to boost your spirits, my surgeon said May is one of the best months to have surgery. Perfect weather to go on walks. :)

Good luck everyone and speedy recovery! [emoji173]️

      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.
