Pre-Op At Hospital Today



Recommended Posts

Well they took my blood did an ekg and said everything looks good. I also got on the scale for the first time in a month and am down 20 pounds..WOW It felt good. I go in on Friday June 26th at 9:00am. I talked to all the people I will be seeing in the Or that day. Nice to meet them before hand. The excitment I feel takes away the nervous feelings I have. I am so ready to get this done. Have a great weekend everyone.:sad:

I had my preop today too... Almost home after an hour drive each way and they tell me oh we forgot to do your arterial blood gas. Can you come back Monday or Tues? Needless to say I'm going back Tuesday after I get off work. Surgery is at 730 am on Thursday the 25th. I'm excited and nervous at same time.

My pre-op is on the 9th of July!

I want to start losing weight, pre-surgery, but I'm not sure what the official weight is that is sent to my insurance company. I'm guessing the first consult I had with my surgeon?

      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.
