Surgery Dates for July

[BowlingHooker 60]

My BMI is 54. I'll find out tomorrow if I will need one.

I'm struggling with my first temptation - dodging regular food and PEPSI while on day 2 of the pre-op diet (surgery July 16). This is hard for me but I know it will get worse for so many other reasons but this is the first time I am fighting a temptation to eat what I want.

My addiction to food is really bad and I have NO control!!!!

I just wanted to put this on paper so I can look back at this a few months from now. LOL!

I know my surgeon said because my BMI was over 60 (my weight was 366) I needed the drain for a week. If I would have weighed less I would have had it out before being discharged.

My bmi was 40 at time of surgery. 219 lbs and I went home with a G drain for a month. I get it out Thursday. I was a revision from lapband to RNY so im not sure if that is why. By far, the drain has been the worst part so far.

Today is my last day before I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I have the days meals all planned out. Greek yogurt for Breakfast, Protein Drink for lunch and my 'dead man walking' last meal will be Chipotle and a home aid brownie from my wife.

Well surgery date is almost here:-). Only a day and a half to go.

Getting a bit nervous but looking forward to it being over. So I can focus on the rest of my life :-)

My surgery is July 22nd, 2wks left &only I day clear fluids yeah!!

[PittGuy 201]

Countrygirl you only have a one day liquid diet? That is great. I get two weeks of Protein Drinks because I have a fatty liver I guess. I am actually excited about starting the diet because it means my time will be here soon.

My surgery is July 16th. I started my liquid diet today (a day early) My stomach is really growling. I have a good attitude and I hope it stays that way!!!

Day 1 of the 2 week preop diet is just about over. I had a rough start but it got better as the day progressed. Hopefully this trend will continue. Hope everyone else on the preop diets are doing well.

Well, I had my final WLS meeting today (surgery July 16). I got a quick physical, bloodwork, meeting with the nurse practioner (group meeting) detailing the surgery, giving me my finals papers, giving me my FMLA papers, and meeting with the NUT and detailing how I will be eating after the surgery. The only thing I dont like is giving myself shots for 2 weeks but I'll just have to grin and bear it!!!

What I like:

1) no drainage tubes to go home with!

2) puree foods for first 2 weeks

3) surgeon will take care of my hiatal hernia during the surgery

4) we were given samples of Vitamins and I like the ones that melt under your tongue!

This meeting made me very comfortable and certain that I'm making the right decision. We were told to bring our Vitamins to the meeting and we sampled each other's vitamins and shared our pre-op stories and stuff. I felt so good today.

I'm doing okay but I cheated a little bit and ate a yogurt parfait. The yogurt wasnt sugar free. yesterday, I cut off a 1/4 of a piece of McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese. I was fine after eating that little piece. Other than that, I'm eating the things they told me to.

Good luck pittsguy!
