May Surgery Buddies?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for RNY on May 15. I’ve been calling the doctor and they haven’t had any answers for me about whether or not the surgery would be postponed. But I got the call from the hospital pre-op saying I am on for the 15th! I’m so nervous! Anyone else having RNY in May? (I’m 41, starting weight is 255.)

I'm May 18th! It's so exciting that it is only two weeks away.

My surgery is now cancelled. 😭 I don’t understand why the hospital called me on Friday to confirm, and now the doctor is calling me today to cancel. But there’s nothing I can do. So disappointing!!

Oh no!!! I’m so sorry! (Hugs) did they give you any reason? I’m sure it’s for your safety but that doesn’t change the disappointment! I keep holding my breath not at all sure mine won’t be canceled too!

      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.
