Countdown to Surgery....



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Today starts my 7 day pre-op 1,000 calorie diet. I know I can do this, I have to do this! I saw my surgeon last week and he said please do the diet it shrinks the liver and makes the surgery easier for me and you. I can't believe it's a week away-March 18, looking forward to this new Chapter in my life. I could not do this without all of you.

Can someone tell me exactly how to paste my ticker. I created it but don't know how to paste it?

Thanks,

Corgi

Yay Corgi!!! One more week!!! You'll do the pre-op diet just fine...whatever it takes!

There's a few threads about the ticker thingy...go to "Need help..." by beachbabe(soon) and to "weight scale at bottom of message" by Rachel. Those may help. Good Luck!

Congrats on your week count down.. you'll do great on the post-op diet. Many have to do it for 2 weeks. So you'll do fine. I wish you Luck & speedy healing!

Paula,

I need to loose at least 100lbs, I work with someone who lost 98, and I know another person who lost 90. So I can do this...

      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.
