Got my first appointment at the surgeon's office!



Recommended Posts

I'm having my first appointment at the bariatric hospital at the end of this month. It's going to be 4 hours; I'm going to talk to an insurance person, a psychologist, and a nutritionist. I don't know where it's going from there. I started my diet consultations with my primary care this January, they said I might need 6 months of them, but am not sure. I'll find out more at the appointment. I'm so excited!

I would think you would be feeling excited. It is something scary and thrilling at the same time. You are starting a journey to make changes in your life, remaking your past,into a bright future. It can bumpy or it can be smooth , hard to predict at this point. I can tell you that b at times it will seem intense. To me and I hope to you it is all worth it. [emoji38]

I’m in my 4th month of pre op and in June get to see the surgeon. Have to lose 20 pounds. Since 1/25/18 staring weight 257 and today after up and down weighed in at 237.4. Such a relief!! To days ago weighed in at 241 up a pond then yesterday walked 1 hour vacuumed for 25 min and kept calories at 650 and today down to 237.4
Thank God. I didn’t want to post that I was up a pound. Any one else going through this roller coaster of the scale?

      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.
