November 12th surgery anyone?



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date and would love to keep in touch if anyone has the same date - 11/12/08 (or anyone no matter what the surgery date!)

Im very nervous about the pre op diet that I am starting on Wednesday. I am already anxious because I feel like I will miss the food :biggrin:

Good Morning. I am scheduled for 11-14 and I too am anxious about giving up life as I know it now but I am ready for nice looking clothes rather than food. I deserve this at this time of my life and I'm taking it. I am being banded in Mexico so will have to find a fill Doc. here in Texas which is not easy...but will be worth it. good luck and keep in touch.:biggrin:

      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.
