Looking for my December 2022 Surgery Twin



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is December 5th. I am excited and nervous but so ready for this new way of life. I would love to connect with someone going through surgery the same day or close to it for support 🙂

The anticipation is building for December 5th! I'm feeling good that I have made the best decision for myself and my future. These forums have have instilled a confidence that I am on the right track and not alone in trying to achieve a better and healthier life. I anticipate a few bumps in the road but intend to ride them out. Good luck to all!

Whoo Hoo. I'm a bit nervous about being so tall and not wanting to lose a ton of weight. I see that you list 220lbs as your Goal Weight. That is idea for me as well but my starting weight is 290. We shall see. Either way, I am settled in my decision. I know it won't be easy but the easy route is not always the best route.

      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.
