Recommended Posts

Hey scorpiokutie!

Wow! You've been trying for a long time! Congratulations on sticking to it and getting what you want!

Do you have to do a pre op diet?

Feel free to stay in touch! Guess I won't complain any more about the time it took me.

Hi Serenity55,

Thank you very much. I don't have to do a pre-op diet, I was just told to eat light the day before. So I will be doing Clear Liquids that one day. Good luck to you with your surgery!!

Had my preadmission testing today and just waiting to make sure that Feb 10th will actually happen. I had an abnormal EKG and so I had to had an ECHO and a stress test and I think they were OK but have not received official word. THe "pioneers" are adding up and soon we will join them. Let's keep in touch.

Peachwood I'm as jealous as all hell! Well done to you, I guess you paid the price in worry and uncertainty! Good luck everyone - are you all freaking or what? I'm actually quite calm today, not starving too much and not worrying too much. Mostly worried about leaving my kids and husband and making sure everything is good at home so I dont have to do much for the next week. Cant believe its 2 days away! WOW!:cursing:

I have been eating all the things I know I will not be able to have for awhile like bread, shrimp, etc. But not overeating. As of Monday it will be CL for 2 days and then two weeks of FL. I will have to get creative. Need to do a little shopping. Gas-X strips, Miso, Papaya enzyme ( just in case)to add to the regular items.

      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.
