New surgery date sept 6



Recommended Posts

I don't have a surgery date yet, but my first consult with my surgeon with be August 29th. As far as the Pre Requisites. I don't have anything to begin on my part until 7 weeks before surgery bcuz I am not on hormones, I do not smoke or drink,and I do not take any type of diet pills. All I have to worry about is having the set up meetings with the dietitian, pre op lab work & pre testing & my last visit with my surgeon b4 surgery outside of any pre surgery support group meetings. But with my insurance deductble met, I hope to have it by November if not end of September.

And the day before will be Precious Pouch and my 1st Surgiversity,and yes She Still is a forceful presence in my life, but I now only weigh 188 pounds instead of the 365+ I embarked at, and no matter what others may say I am Very very Proud of me for staying the Course this Long! Either I am very committed or I fail to know any better, but I ABIDE as the Dude said in the B8G LOBOWSKI, yes I surely Do!

Hi Frustr8! It's been awhile since I've been on the forums, but I remember you were getting your surgery sometime around when I was and a bunch of us others who were active in the forums. How are you doing with your wls?

      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.
