October 2nd surgery date!



Recommended Posts

I’m almost a week away from surgery! Extremely ready and excited! I’m 26 years old and I’m just beyond happy to start this new journey.

I guess what brought me here is this: last night laying in bed I asked my boyfriend if he had faith in me through this process. After a LONG pause he basically said “maybe”. He’s apologized this morning but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the closest person to me doesn’t really think I’m going to do a great job.

Just looking at all of your positive thoughts has helped me stop being upset; so thank you! I hope it works out for me as it did for everyone on the posts I’ve been reading!!

Hi there, Im October 5th, liquid diet starts on Tuesday =( Wish I had food to eat during pre op but no chance of that. I think everyone has some doubts if they will fail or not, I know I do. Hubby is supportive in anything I do and hes watching me on this journey as he might get it done to if its successful...which it will be for ALL of us =) Keep thinking good thoughts we are here with you too =)

Good luck with your surgery. Use your boyfriend’s doubt and show him you can and will. It definitely isn’t an easy journey but so worth it.

It's great to have the support of your loved ones and others close to you but ultimately it's up to you to be successful. As long as you are confident and willing to make the sacrifices needed than that's what really counts. Don't let how others feel about YOUR journey affect your view on things. Lean on them for support but don't rely on it. At times this is not an enjoyable process but go into it knowing and expecting that so when the times come you've already mentally gotten past it. Even we're just words on a computer screen you'll have tons of support from everyone here. Good luck to ALL of you on your upcoming dates. YOU ALL GOT THIS!!!!

      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.
