Surgery Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Well I've been preparing for this since July of this year and tomorrow is Da Day! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I've been doing the liquid diet now for about a week, man is it tuff. I know that after the surgery it will be easier as you really won't have a choice.

My hardest thing to cope with has been the cravings. Has anyone been struggeling with cravings? If so, what have you done to overcome them? I just try to get my mind off and do something else. Boy is it tuff sometimes. Last night all I wanted was some chicken. I could have just pulled it off the bone and went to town. Instead I grabed my Protein Shake and did what I could to take my mind off of the little bird.

I'm really looking forward to the results by the end of the year!:w00t:

How exciting! Congratulations!.... what time is it scheduled for (I'll send positive energy your way)? It sounds like you're well-prepared so try not to worry about a thing. Everything will be great...

As for the cravings, I'll let others chime-in there (I'm still pre-op). It will get better after you have the band. And right after the surgery, you won't feel like eating anything anyway (its what I understand) so just focus on that.

Congrats again!

      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.
