Scheduled for December 19th!



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm new to this forum but I'm so excited to be a part of a community that understands this process! I am scheduled for surgery on December 19th. It has been a long road to get to this point but I am thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life! At 25 years old I feel like this is the perfect time to change things for the better! I hope to connect with people here and hear about other struggles and success. Cheers!

Hello-same day as you! You are so young, I’m sure you’ll heal well. I’m 45 and should have done this 10 years ago!

We are almost twins, I will be January 19th. If you need someone to chat with, let me know! Did you find this out in pre surgical testing?

      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.
