I finally have my surgery date



Recommended Posts

Hi Peeps,

I finally have my surgery date.

It seems like these six months have taken soooooo long.

I am scheduled for 08-31-17

I have to do the liver shrink diet for 3 weeks instead of the standard two weeks.

I am so excited and nervous and cannot wait to be in the post op stages.

Seeing my wife's rapid weight loss is making me more anxious to get it done.

She is only 5 weeks out and is shedding pounds like crazy.

Fantastic news Walter! I was actually thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. Luckily you'll have in built-in support with your wife going through it with you too.

I also did a three-week pre-op diet and lost more weight on that than I did after the surgery! But the pounds keep coming off so I'm not complaining.

I am scared that my liver won't shrink enough and my surgeon will get in there and have to abort the procedure.
He said the chances of that happening are extremely rare, but I am still worried.
I am stressed something is going to come up to prevent me from getting the surgery.
I am so tired of being in constant pain.
I am tired of struggling to put my shoes on.
I am tired of my lower back hurting constantly.
Not only that, my wife's weight loss is making her incredibly horny and she wants to jam all the time.
My health is so bad, I can only go like once a week.

I'd ask how she's feeling but I'm gonna guess pretty good lol

Remember how scared I was? It was a waste of energy! I feel great now.

We're all rooting for you! Get all healthy so you can feel as good as your honey!

      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.
