APPROVED!!! First Day Of Pre-Op Diet!!!

Oct 11, 2011

Since the last time I blogged, I saw the nutritionist, I got the results of my written psych evaluation, had my appt. with a new therapist because the 1st one thought I needed several months of therapy before my surgery .The 2nd therapist passed me with flying colors, she thought I was a perfect candidate for the lap-band surgery!  ALL OF MY APPOINTMENTS ARE DONE!!!  After the appointments were all done, they sent all of the paperwork in to be evaluated & be approved...On to the good stuff....

I WAS APPROVED! Last Monday I found out that I was approved for the surgery! They called me on Friday to set a date! Nov. 10th is my surgery date! Yay! I'm so excited! 

I started my liquid diet today!  I can have the following...........

*4 WEEK LIQUID DIET*

(4 weeks because I've had a prior stomach surgery. My surgeon wants to shrink as much scar tissue as possible before he operates!)


***4 Protein Shakes

***As much as I want of...Water, crystal light, sugar-free jell-o, sugar -free Popsicles...

***Limited Amount of...Sherbet, skim milk, tea, Gatorade, broth (low sodium)

***I also started taking vatamins...Flintstones chewables w/ Iron & Calcium w/ vitamin D. As suggested by surgeon.

This is very excited but it's going to be very difficult at the same time! I need as much encouragement as possible from anybody & everybody!!!

Today: So far so good, not too hungry.
