Surgery update



Recommended Posts

:update: Hi gang, :update:

I wanted to fill you all in on my surgery.

Garry and I met with Dr.Voellinger this afternoon and I will not have surgery this week. We have to wait n the insurance company to approve everything.

I do not have to be on a liquid diet before hand:hungry: :clap2: but I will have to be on liquids and mushies for 3 weeks after:faint::(

I will be in for 1 or 2 nights. If it turns out to be open surgery then longer.

It just looks like I'm a lucky one! It isn't that common but does happen. It really does suck, but I have to tell you I am putting it in Gods hands. Everything from the date of the surgery to my sucess. I can't go forward unless I go through this set back so I guess thats what I have to do!

Dr. Voellinger made me feel better and as usual took all the time I needed with him to answer all my questins.

I'm still in a funk but at least I know what I need to do and success is to follow.

I will keep you updated. I'm hoping I can get some sleep. I'm exhausted.

Have a good night.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

Ah and just think how much you will loose doing liquids /mushie phase again. I keep saying, I think I'll do liquids for a couple of days....but I never do because I don't have to. Maybe as a show of support I'll do it with you :(

You guys are great! I have actually been thinking liquids wouldn't be to bad, but not that I think about it 3WEEKS ugh..lol...I know the first 2 will be no problem.

Ok I am thinking and you know how I do that, but I want to run this by you. My grandmother as you know is suposed to come on the 16th.

I'm thinking I should wait till she leaves to have the surgery. Garry and my mother think I'm nuts. I don't want to wait but I don't want to be on mushies while she's here and be sore. I don't want to cancel her visit because she's 97!!! So am I crazy to wait till she leaves. It is on my mnd I do want it over with ASAP. Ahhh I don't know what to do. I know I'm worring before I have anything to worry about but, I think it's planning rather than worrying. If I could change her flight then I'd do it in a second and have the surgery as soon as possible.

blahblah blah..sorry

IMHO, I'd go ahead and have it done, even with your grandma coming ... but that's just my opinion. I'm sure it stems from me chomping at the bit to get a band ;)

Actually I am going to postpone her coming most likely. I spoke with my aunt today and she agrees that we should reschedual her for later in March or early April.

I feel things being lifted right off me!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
