Patti K

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!

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....

I suffered headaches today and this was sucha stressful day. Normally I would eat through it. I did have a push-pop but hey that is liquid right? I did not have time to intake enough Protein and if I only had a push-pop after today then I think I dis pretty good! Also I got new soft sheets I bought in the mail today so I destressing on super awesome sheets....mmmm. Almost makes up for no solid food....ALMOST! Lol

July 31st-ers, Please friend me (I use VST mobile which doesnt allow me to friend) so that we can support each other as we begin the journey at the same time. I am really getting nervous. I know I am ready but I also know its gonna hurt!!!! Lol

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.

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!

My bf and his nephew wanted to do the LD with me but i told them no. They shouldnt suffer for me. Their best support is making all the foods they eat that I hate! Lol
