5/29 Surgery... Oh Yeah, That's Tomorrow!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well I am packed and ready. Having another popsicle before bed. I am not nervous, but waiting for it to hit me. Please say an extra prayer for me and my fellow surgery buddies tomorrow! Hope the others that are going in tomorrow have a very easy, complication free procedure. Can't wait to hear from you all! Good Luck!

I'm right with you, bama. I'm mostly packed, about to go to bed (I'm starving!) I'm getting picked up at 5am to go to the hospital. So, I'm getting up at 4 to do the special surgical cleanser, etc. Bama- we can do it! Post to let us know how it goes.

Came through with flying colors ! Doc even took some photos and gave me of my band... Very cool!

I have been nauseated all day. Have a patch, zofran and phenigran, feeling much better. Think it was from anesthesia it really kicks my butt!

Slept most of the day and sore tonight but only when I move... LOL!

Hope tan and everyone did great... So sleepy right now...dozing off now. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes !,

Congrats KAH!! Just got up on my own to walk.. This is my second time. They ate just telling me rest, giving meds but walk if you want. Pain was bad for me at first due to a hiatal hernia but much better now. I'm sleepy too.. Think I've slept almost non stop since surgery. Drank some broth, crystal light and Water so far. They are going down well... HBU?

So happy we are through this part! It should be a little easier from here.. I hope!

      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.
