FEBRUARY 20!! Surgery Buddy?!?



Recommended Posts

Starting my liquid diet today and having RNY surgery on February 20th. I’m so excited! Has anyone come into any road blocks this close? I’ve had a few with the pulmonary department so I don’t wanna get ahead of myself. I wasn’t that consistent with my vitamins.. any advice?

Not too bad for someone who is going to have a Rny either February 15tth or early next month depending whether the scheduling office or the surgeon's office are correct. Been getting conflicting messages, hopefully it will,all get straightened out Tuesday mornings . As the old saying goes I don't know whether to fish or cut bait. I need to either start a liquid diet or lay in supplies for later.

Hi @chamomilelavender I'm February 20th RNY too. :) I'm on Day 3 of the pre-op liquid diet. So far it really hasn't been too bad; a little hunger, a little craving to chew. But, those have been outweighed by the gravity of the situation I'm in--to prepare for surgery and shrink my liver. I don't want to fork up anything, so I'm on the straight and narrow.

How are you doing?

*waves to everyone in the room* Howdy!

Thats awesome. Just the beginning of your life. Surgery will be here before u know it. The pain should be gone in a few days then you will be sore forever a few days.

      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.
