Nervous, starting pre-op diet today!

I am so worried that this 2 week pre-op diet is going to kick my butt. I have been a moody, cranky, miserable person ever since I started this journey a few months ago. I know it is only a few weeks and it's necessary for surgery but my 16 month old son and my husband are going to run for the hills. I can't even stand being around me when I'm hungry. The "Snickers" commercials of "your not yourself when your hungry" is sooo me! Wish me luck!

good luck to you! I am just starting the journey and have not received by surgery date yet. I will have to do the 2 week pre-op liquid diet and am nervous about it. Are you using a specific protein shake? My surgical group is recommending their product but I am wondering if other people have preferences for other brands?

I am excited for you. Hang in there. I will be in your "shoes" in a couple months :)

Hi my name is Josh Rodef and i am the director of operations for Insure Nutrition. i started a business that specializes in getting health insurance coverage for protein drinks and supplements. Our favorite product is called Optisource. Its a high protein drink that is specifically formulated for post bariatric surgery patients.   We are able to get your private insurance to pay for your protein supplements, allowing you to get the highest quality products at no cost to you.  Most patients and surgeon are unaware that this is a option. Having struggled with my weight for many years, i know that having the proper tools and support can make a huge difference. Call me so that i can tell you more about our services.

Thank you Shelley! I am drinking the Designer Whey. It is not as sweet tasting as the other protein shakes I found. Tomorrow it will be a week on the diet and I won't lie I am really hungry but it is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I went to my support group meeting a few nights ago and actually found out I could double what I was drinking with the protein shakes. Good luck to you! I am here if you ever need to talk or have a question. :)

I hope you are doing great!!  I am just waiting on the approval from the insurance company and then the surgery schedule date.  Keep your spirits high and I would love to be on your journey with you.  Life is worth living.  I have waited too many years to finally take this step but I am so glad that I am almost there.  Your son and hubby will be so glad you are doing this for you.  Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

 

I am doing OK . Not great but OK! Lol. Some days are good then others I want to rip mg hair out I'm so hungry. My husband is incredible, he is doing the diet with me. I can't believe I am only 3 days away! Good luck I hope you get a quick approval from the insurance company. :)
