Surgery Date???



Recommended Posts

Hmmn, around Central Ohio, and especially Columbus they book you 6 weeks after your consults and insurances fall into place. I got my Surgery date on July 17, 2018 and had my RNY on September 5th, 2018 at 7 AM. That was a wonderful, life-changing Day for ME, ranks up with the Delivery Dates of each child, the Day I married my late husband, and my Graduation Day.Would you believe that was 56 years ago and some of my former classmates are the same as they were then. I see 5 or 6 out around town, most of us didn't retain our Girlish figures but mine is starting to emerge from my Fat Shell, it has been hid for years, you know.😛and I ❤ being in smaller sizes. Even though my whole body looks a train wreck, it is getting better, and I am starting to recognise myself in mirrors I pass- you see I look radically different than I once did. Ms Puffy Cheeks has left town forever, I hope they like the New Me, if not they will just have to come to understand because I AM NOT GOING BACK THERE! Not Now not ever! Too Many Good facets to this all! It was more than worth it to ME!

Mine was about six weeks out because my surgeon was booked up that far on her calendar.

Got approve for surgery in early June 2019 but my surgeon only had opening end of July and early August. I picked Aug 6. I was not in a rush and it gives me time to fill out my FMLA form for work.

      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.
