Anyone scheduled for December yet?



Recommended Posts

Hi All, just joined this forum and I am excited to connect with you all. I believe that these groups are necessary to keep morale up and help during the rough times. My VSG surgery is December 20th. It has all gone so fast since I made the decision and I can't believe I'll be starting my pre-op diet on December 6th. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Dec 20th here. I will start my liquid diet on Dec 6th. It will be rough considering I work in a restaurant. I’m surrounded by food all day.

Dec. 11th here! Getting anxious! I Know what you mean about being around food at work, my job has a catered lunch every day! :0

For those of us scheduled in December, are you eating like there is no tomorrow or are you trying to be good before you start your pre-op diet. I go day by day, sometimes binge eating and sometimes fasting.

I don’t understand why some doctors require it and others don’t . I was going to do surgery through insurance in nj but there was an exclusion , so now doing it self pay In Florida . No doctor didn’t require 2 weeks of liquids before but Florida doctor does

I haven’t been binging, but we do visit favorite restaurants on date nights and I’m making a lot of my favorites for thanksgiving. I’ve tried to be conscious of when I feel full and am trying to stop then rather than “cleaning my plate”. My surgery is the 14th, so December 1st is the day I start my Pre-Op diet. I’m blessed that I do not have to do a liquid diet like most, but rather a low carb, low fat diet.

      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.
