Francesca's update



Recommended Posts

Just a quick update, I got my drain tubes and 40 staples out yesterday. I am feeling better but still in a lot of pain. I really am getting better day by day.

My Dr. says that I am doing well considering the extensive surgery he had to do.

well I will write more later,

bye for now

Wowza, 40 staples?! I'm assuming you didn't have this band removal done laporoscopically, right? Your hubby posted that there was alot of infection, so that makes sense, yes? Girl, so glad to see you posting and on the mend. Hang in there. Keep us updated, too. All the best to you!

So happy to hear you healing now Francesca. It was great to speak with you even though it was too quick.JUst remember not to over do anything especially because you surgery was so invasive. I pray the stomach Gods are kind to you & your back to an upright position soon. I know you must be so happy getting all that crap out of your gut (Tubes & Staples) I'll talk w/ya soon. TC

OWIE!! 40 staples!! I was blessed that I could have my band removed laproscopically. I was so afraid I would have to be cut open but Billy didn't have to. I did have a drain in for two days though. They took it out just before I was discharged yesterday.

Francesca, I am praying for a speedy recovery and no more surgeries for along long time for us.

HUGS

      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.
