Approved and Have a Date



Recommended Posts

Happy New Year Everyone.

Well it looks like it is going to be a Happy New Year for me. I found out on Thursday that I was approved for surgery. And on Friday was given the Date of Feb. 3 for surgery.

I am kinda in shock.

I feel like I will really believe it when I am being wheeled from surgery.

Thanks for the knowledge and Support.

I am sure to need you guys as much as ever.

Hugs and Best Wishes

Vicki in Indy

I'm 4 days short of being a month post-op and I'm already very happy with my band. It has given me the willpower I needed to make the right food choices. It's one of those things where you have a calm and just know this was meant for you to do. Enjoy your new journey and 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.
