Recommended Posts

I've been eating Soups and crackers, really not that hungry ... Lots of Water ... I haven't left the house ... My first trip out of the house will be to see my doctor .. Don't want to take any chances on getting an infection .. Or tripping ,,, I beleive the more I rest the better I will heal .. When I got up this morning feeling great ... Still walking in a hunching position ... My baby sister laughing at me ... I told everyone not to make me laugh .. Omg it hurts to laugh or cough .., I mean hurts ... So stay away from funny people !!

So yesterday I went for my follow up appointment with my dr ... They pulled off all my bandages ... He said everything is looking great .. I was a little overwhelmed with the cut across my flat belly .. Wow ... Did anyone else feel this way the first time this saw their cut ...

I didn't remove the silver sulfadiazine from my belly button for the picture ... Doctor orders to leave that stuff on 24/7 helps with the healing .. But it is really nasty stuff .. Gets everywhere ... And only god knows where my port is ?? Lol !!! I hope it's there .. I've been eating alot more !!!

Nah... It will heal...But I am overwhelmed that it looks as amazing as it does... It's like Tuesday moorning the extra skin was there and my boobs resembled those of an 80 year old woman and Tuesday afternoon the skin was gone and my boobs look like i am a young woman. It's pretty surreal to me

      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.
