Surgery Tomorrow 3/18...Yikes!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it's here, OMG.... I'm not nervous at all, I just want this over with. Today I have to keep my food very light and then at 3:00pm I take phoso soda, I hate that stuff...

I remember when I was researching this surgery about a year ago, went to the seminar in July and then decided let me try one more diet, weight watcher, well that was short lived. I decided in December I had enough, I needed help and went back to the surgeon and started the process. In January we started all the paperwork and every step of the way went smoothly. I believe when you have no stuggles during a process then it's meant to be.

Well I will be on the other side over the weekend, and I will get back on the board to share my experience.

I can't THANK all of you enough, I get so much support here...

Good luck Corgi: We will leave the light on for you and fluff up the pillows upon your return. I can feel you excitement.

Come back and give us an update when you feel up to it. Take it from this kitty as a way to waste the day. LOL!!

This is very true Corgi & for those of us who do struggle the taste of victory can even be a little sweeter;0)

You'll do great & I hope all is uneventful just as your process has been. I wish you a very speedy recovery! Congrats.

Best of luck tomorrow! Tomorrow is my 3 week anniversary of my band and i am still excited about it! Let us know how it goes. If you can do it, a few hours after recovery, call someone and leave them a voicemail. I called my wife and left her a voicemail I don't even remember and it's the funniest thing! smile.gif I sound like a perv at first breathing into the phone smile.gif "haaaahaaaahaaa...Well it's over, there's a lot of pain but it's done...haaahaaahaaaaa" smile.gif

      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.
