The day after tomorrow....



Recommended Posts

that seems so close. I've been waiting for years for my insurance to approve the lapband procedure. I have been waiting for years to wrap my head around the fact that I need help. I've been waiting for years to start this process and my seminar is the day after tomorrow. It's exciting. The can't sleep-tomorrow-morning-is-christmas sorta exciting. I have seen my primary care doc and gotten the referral to see the surgeon. I've called and scheduled the psych consult for as soon as I have had my one on one appt w/the surgeon. I'm in the process of scheduling a sleep study. Whew...so much going on and I know i have so much left to go. I am so excited about the day after tomorrow!

      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.
