Surgery Tuesday June 10th



Recommended Posts

Just found this board last night. My surgery date is Tuesday and I am excited. Scared also that I will fail at this like I have other attempts at weight loss. I have told VERY few people and had to be shamed into telling my children. I am so embarrassed that I am so weak that I have to have surgery to lose weight...

That is why we are ALL here . . . and the difference I feel from a year ago . . . to even 6 months ago when I had this done are unbelievable! I'm off my high blood pressure meds . . . yea! . . . don't walk with a cane anymore . . . yea! . . . and just feel sooooooooooo much better! Best of luck to you. It's hard work - but if you want it . . . the results are AMAZING!

I share your feelings. My surgery is this Tuesday and I'm becoming increasingly nervous. I'm not afraid of the surgery but of struggling with the adjustment afterwards (vomiting - food getting stuck). I'm sure the solution is to make good choices and be vigilant. I hope you have adjusted well since your surgery. GOOD LUCK:smile:

      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?

      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.
