Patti K got a reaction from kw2walker in july 2013 sleevers
I am July 31st and i have already bought my sippy cups and kids utensils (tip from my hospital), i have everything I need for my hospital bag and am considering packing now. I am ordering these Protein Fruit Drinks from my NUT in the hospital after sirgery that we tried on PAT day. I am gonna ask her to bring me samples again after surgery to see if my taste for them changed. I just have to clean my house still with a good once over and go pay for the scrips they called over. 11 days to go!

Patti K got a reaction from Beach Lover in VSG causes high risk for pancreatic cancer
I just looked it up and the partial gastrectomy that is discussed as having a higher liklihood of getting pancreatic cancer is the kind tht is done to relieve peptic ulcers. The stomach is cut differently and the duodenum is affected, unlike vsg. Also, peptic ulcers could ACTUALLY be the causal factor and the surgery's invasiveness could have accelerated the issue. Not related to vsg imho. My bff's mom died f pancreatic cancer and her doctor specifically said it was probably due to her smoking....

July 31st. I was given a 2 week minimum pre-op liquid diet but I am going to start July 5th cuz the doc said 3-4 weeks would be best. I go back and forth between excited and scared. I need buddies still so friend me! Inalready bought some liquids like V8 but need to find a good Protein powder and liquid Vitamin. I found Centrum but need to go to vitamin world.

Patti K got a reaction from ShelPrice in HUNGRY
Thanks for the words of encouragement. The Doc said that the program does a minimum 2 week liquid diet (to be started the day of PAT because they do that 2 wks before, but he said that in my case (I guess because of my size -currently 429 before liquids) that 3 weeks woyld be better and 4 weeks would be best. I also am not giving myself the option of cheating. This post was my diversion to not focus on the meal my bf prepared for his nephew and himself. Thanks for helping me through!
