October Surgeries!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am having my VSG on October 4th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Dr. Michel Gagner. I am self pay. My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet but I plan to do a liquid diet anyway starting on Sunday so I have 1 week to get rid of some of the carb cravings....

I am excited but nervous also. I have wanted this for more than 1 year so it is hard to believe it is really going to happen soon.

Nancy

:001_tongue: Mine is October 4th at Richmond CA Kaiser Permanente. Having a HUGE problem staying under goal weight. My current is about 2 lbs over with clothes on. You think I can weigh in without ? HAHA It is crazy trying to control, but all I think about is food lately. Hopefully it will get better after surgery!

so ive been buying things little by little so i have it ready for my surgery. I found a must have i thought id tell you about. dont buy the chicken broth from the store it only has 2g of Protein, go online and order Unjury chicken Soup broth it has 21g of protein and 1g carb in 8oz and its pretty tasty.

If anyone else knows of any low carb protein mix that tastes good let me know. :) im always looking for some good post-op protein liquids.< /p>

I am having surgery on the 18th in TJ. Who is your DR? It is such a relief to finally be on the road to good health!

Scheduled for the 18th in TJ. Seeing Dr Ortiz at OCC. Traveling by myself and trying not to worry about the "being alone" part.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
