Back From The Casinos!!



Recommended Posts

I am back from AC (Atlantic City)! Being 4 days post-op when I went I was a little concerned but it went great! I packed a couple pre-made shakes, a jeloo, and 2 waters to take with me. Got to the hotel and put it all on ice. Wentto the Showboat casino and didn't win anything so we drove to the Tropicana (my fav, casino). I knew hubby was hungry and my throat was so sore I felt like it was closing up and I needed either something very cold or hot. I suggested we go to PF Changs(chinese) inside theTrop. I am VERY proud of myself. I ordered a Virgin strawberry Daiquiri (honestly I needed something icy in my throat. I had about 4 ozs. I ordered Egg Drop Soup to be brought with my hubby's meal. Took out the egg part best I could (it's pretty minced). My throoat and tummy felt so much better! I was thinking like a Bandster-the lettuce/chicken appetizers came to the table next to me and I said to myself "I can order that or make that at home when this post-op is over" They use lettuce leaves and you scoop a mixture mixture inside and eat it like a wrap almost. Left and played Sex and the City machine and won $270!! Whoo Hoo! I feel great today-still a little sore throat. :P

      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.
