I have a date too



Recommended Posts

I have my date, with Dr. Bauman. Its October 13th...so I'm not that far behind you ladies. I loved their office and the staff was just great. And they kept saying things like.....I'll take care of "........." today. I was like wow, today! hehehe. I have my prescrips to get filled before surgery and my hosptial check in scheduled. And it looks like I won't have to stay overnight. :) Which is great news.

I am going to stop letting people measure my height though soon....I keep shrinking...sigh.

Not all that fast...started officially back in April. But since moving to Dr. Baumans office its when fast. Most of that is because I had all my ducks already lined up, I only had a few things additional to get done for them. Their program does seem a bit stricter as far as monitoring and such...but I think that is going to work to my advantage.

I think I'm going to have to tell my mother in law, as she is planning to visit sometime around my surgery to go to the rein faire. Ah well I now have a nice spifey computer program for her to watch...so all is good.

      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.
