March 2014 Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Uh I'm so disappointed... Instead of a march date that I expected my dr is going on vacation so my surgery date is April 8 7:30am. I was told to stop the liquid diet but continue to eat high Protein low carbs and losing weight then I have to restart a week before the surgery. The wait is killing me!!

I know the feeling, my tentative surgery date was Jan 24th then the insurance wanted more documentation, then the next available date was February 11th but I had something going on... then the doctor had something going on and I got a Feb 28th date then started pre-op diet got call reschedule to March 3rd. As anxious as I was it goes by pretty quick now all my labs are done and Monday morning I go under at 7:30am!! My surgeon is now starting to use the robot for robotic assisted surgery. So the wait may have benefitted me!

I have all my prescriptions filled and my date for surgery is March 13th. BCBSIL received my paperwork from the doctor on the 24th, just waiting for the final approval. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I know I'm good to go. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow.

sorry that you were delayed. Time will go by quickly, I went through the same thing, I was approved on 1-5-13 and had to wait until 3-17-14. It's worth the wait :)

My tentative date is March 17th. I didn't have any particular amount that they told me to lose. I lost at the

beginning and then gained some around Christmas but lost 14 since then. i didn't loose any this month.

i'm worried to and Monday

I have my last weigh and start my liquid diet too. i'm drinking Water, water, water and i'll be at the gym all

weekend.

i hate being this close & having this uncertainty. & i can see the inches coming off and it doesn't reflect the scale.

so frustrating.

I bough bullion cubes to make broth. I like 1 chicken cube, one beef cube, and some onion powder. I bought a couple of types of Popsicles and a lot of yogurt. I bought some cottage cheese tonight because I was desperate for something different. I bought a couple of kinds of juice but I limit how much of that I have since it's high on the carbs.

when you get cottage cheese and yogurt do you get the low fat, fat free or light? I never know which ones to get

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
