My day is here



Recommended Posts

It seems to have gone bye quickly. 8 am surgery time. I'm a little nervous, anxious, and excited all at once. All day everyone at work has said " are you ready, are you sure this is what you want". HELL YEAH. I'm hoping my sponsers are ready, I can see some roller coaster emotions coming down the road. BUT I can get through that. I don't think there will be much sleeping tonight.

Surgery went well one hour in and out to recovery. Up walking every two hrs. No pain to speak of other than my abdomen feels like I have been punched several times. No throbbing pain of any kind. Hurts a little bit getting out of bed, this is the worst of it. No nausea / vomitting. Came home the same day was late discharge at 10 pm. Hopefully just a few days of this abdomen pain and on to our new lives.

Great news! Surprised you were on so quickly...quite an inspiration to how things can go. I am starting to get really nervous, I dont think there will be good sleep the next couple of nights but I can't wait. Good luck to you and I look forward to hearing how things go.

      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.
