I'm having my pre-op appointment later today. My choice is the vsg /sleeve, but first I have a few things to get in order in this body. I'm committed and willing to give this 1000% of my effort for the remainder of my life. My bariatritian and I are looking for a January surgery date, but October sounds good too....I'm strong enough to survive the holidays, I'm ready to get my new stomach after all of health is in order. Congrats everyone for being strong enough to share your personal journey and be an encouragement for someone else.

Had my pre-op appointment today and we are aiming for surgery in October 💪🏽🙇🏽‍♀️. I'm at 249 and need to get to 235 lbs and get a few more things in order. Starting Iron transfusions next week, for the next 4 weeks. I forgot to ask if I can have one meal a day and 2 Protein Shakes now to help me get down to my goal approval surgery weight. I'm learning from those of you close to surgery.

I see some stuff about preop diet requirements. I feel extremely lucky they only requirement I have is the day before I can only consume 3 Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. Other then that I just have to maintain my weight lost for preop. I wonder why doctor's are all so different on their preop diet choices...

I also got the 31st for my RNY. However I broke my foot yesterday. I'm praying my foot does not delay my surgery. I meet with foot Dr. on Tuesday. I was so excited, now I'm anxious again [emoji22]

      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.
