Ding Ding-Round 3 for Me



Recommended Posts

Once again i am facing surgery-this time because my port flipped and i cant have any fills,obviously, with it being like this.

My last surgery was to take out the stitches because it was irritating a nerve and causing a lot of pain. So now Im going in for the exact opposite. Hurraaay!!Im not o bummed out though--I`ll get some(much needed)time off of work, although it will be nice to have some vaca time without surgery!!

Anyways, I`ll need to get this done hopefully this month,along with taking my Insurance License as well this month(just got back from a 2-day course).Its wicked intense and Im trying to study like crazy. So,my stress never seems to end...looking forward to the weekend though-I will need some cocktails for sure=-)

Hi all, Im back from m y surgery...it was very very painful--almost as much as the initial banding. I think one of my ribs might even have gotten bruised--OW!lol i could never imagine breaking a rib. But im feeling better now-today i even went out and did a little shopping. I also had a fill which is more restricting-its perfect (again! lol). Anyways just wanted to update everyone.Thank you all so much for your warm thoughts and prayers =-) Hopefully 3rd times the charm!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
