Pre op new to app



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am new to the app and wanted to introduce myself. I am pre op for the sleeve. I am hoping to have the surgery in May so I will have the summer to recover and get used to the new lifestyle. I have already accomplished a few goals in preparation for the surgery. I quit smoking (2 and a half packs daily!) seven months ago. I also quit drinking soda in October. I am hoping for ultimate success and would appreciate any encouragement or advice.

Hi congrats on accomplishing some of your goals. I am 17 days post op and I feel great thank God. I really like this app because I just feel the support and I know people know exactly what I'm going through. So far I have felt so much support. I'm new at this too but hopefully I can be some help to you.

That would be wonderful! Did you have the sleeve? I’m still learning how this app works.

Just play around with it you'll get the hang of it. When is your surgery scheduled? You excited?

I’m still waiting on insurance approval. But I am hoping for sometime in May. I am super excited and nervous. I am trying to be as prepared as possible.

Welcome and congrats! Giving up soda was the number 1 thing I was happy I did before surgery. Now, a year post op, I still don't drink it and I don't miss it. I never thought I'd say that. Good luck. You'll do great.

      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.
