Surgery will be August 15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for surgery August 15. I am very excited but also a bit jittery. Planning to be stoic about all this. I am looking forward to getting this extra weight off me.

My doctor is John Debarros in Phoenix/Tempe Arizona. He specializes in both types of weight loss surgery.

I am scheduled for August 15th, too! Just 2 days away. Like you, I am a little nervous.....I guess it is normal to question some things....like

will it work? what if I don't loose the weight? will I be hungry (especially the first 2 weeks after surgery)?

Good luck...and let's keep in touch with our progress

Hi Patrick, Good to hear from you. I, too, am afraid I will be the one who mysteriously doesn't lose weight. Oh, but that isn't realistic. I will be thinking of you, well maybe, before the slip the happy juice into my veins.

It's the beginning of a new way of life for us. healthier and slimmer. Good luck to you. Keep in touch.

I have been told that I will be uncomfortable very uncomfortable the day after surgery. So tell your friends to lay low that day.

Bryn

      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.
