Time for my Surgery



Recommended Posts

Im getting ready to head out to Colorado today. Tomorrow is my Surgery to replace my port and to check for the bad pain in my mid abs possabily a hernia. I am getting very nervous, but at the same time a feeling of relif that finally I might be back to losing again. I will say this though... I am so proud that band leaky port or not got me under 300lbs. Now I want to get to my next goal.Anyway, Surgery is at 9:00 tomorrow at Health South in Pueblo Co (ugh the drive) and I hope I will be able to come right after pumped with meds. Actually I HAVE to come home tomorrow. Just keep me in your prayers, I am really going to need them. I will try to post as soon as I could, if not Im calling both Jamie and Kelly, they could let you know how I am doing. Bye and Take Care!!!

      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.
