June 4Th-Surgery Date

I have my surgery date......JUNE 4th @ 7:30am. I am so excited to finally have a date. I guess after I walked out I begin to feel a little nervous but excited. My surgeon was very informative and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable.

I also found out that BCBS is requiring me to stay the night. I did think I would be able to go home.

 

My husband already took off work and I found out that my mother-in-law will be coming down to stay at least a week with me too.

 

I'm wondering what others have done to get prepared for surgery besides just the 10 day diet.

Did you cook up food? Did you buy certain foods, drinks? Do you carry a 64 oz jug or do you carry a smaller one and refill?

Since I pay all the bills, I made sure they were all paid for the month so that I wouldn't forget anything. I also cleaned house as I know family won't keep it as clean as well.

I plan to have them do all the lifting, cleaning driving etc. I am just 4 days post-op so still on the liquid diet. I bought the whey protein in chocolate flavor to mix with 8 ounces of skim milk. Sometimes having two protein shakes (EAS or Adkins) a day would feel me up and I couldn't get much anything else down. Also bought strawberry whey protein to put a half scoop in my non-fat strawberry/banana yogurt to get my 50 plus grams of protein for the day.

But not an expert, just four days into this. I also installed a pedometer app on my iphone so when I walk up and down my hall I can track how much I walked and try to increase a little daily. I also installed the LOSE IT app on my phone to track what I am drinking and it adds up my protein, I also put in my water amounts in and vitamins. I just create a new food and add water and vitamins, etc and don't put any calories.

So when I go see my dietician and one week checkup, I will have it all in one place.

Good Luck!
