Surgery Scheduled for March



Recommended Posts

yes, the infamous "food funeral," i often wonder if that is one of the reasons behind the pre-op diet, so that the patient doesn't binge like a crazy person right before surgery.

it definitely has not been easy, drinking the Protein shakes and eating as if i have a band but not actually having the limitation it provides. i had a mini breakdown yesterday when i realized i was one month away from surgery...excited that it's close but also bummed out because 4 weeks sounds like forever!

I have kind of started getting into the groove of my pre-op diet. I have a ten day liquid diet. I decided to start now and at least do Breakfast as liquid. So today I had a Protein Shake and a yogurt for breakfast. I think this is a good way to ease into it all. Then I won't have a huge shock going from full food to full liquids in one day! Yikes!

Just wanted to pop in & say "Hi". I am currently waiting on my insurance approval. I thought I was gonna get a Feb date but it's looking more & more like it may be March now. Once the papers were in I had to go get an ekg then was told I needed a pulmonary function test. All was submitted last Fri. Fingers crossed.

Hi, I'm waiting to hear my date for March, this can't come soon enough!

My surgeons office requires a 2 week 5-6 Protein Shakes a day and 2 cups of raw or steamed vegetables!

Wow that's going to be rough! Good luck with it. Mine won't be easy either. But I am determined to make it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
