On my way to Surgery Center Now..



Recommended Posts

THank you everyone for the Prayers and positive words. I am so grateful and very appreciative for all the support. I was able to be home by 1pm.

I actually feel hungry and that my "thirst" is unquenchable. I have had 1 SF Popsicle with no problem and tried chicken broth and about threw it up. So, no chicken broth today. I might try a Protein shake later tonight.

I have been able to git rid of most of my gas pain by placing my arms above my head and breathing deep. I did discover I had a hiatle hernia and the doc repaired that today as well. Defiantly still have pressure by my collar bone but it maybe 1/4 of the strength that it was coming out of surgery.

Over all , I'm looking forard to recovery. Thank you again guys, and CHEERS to BandLand

Thank you again to everyone, 1 day Post op and I am definitely learning to pace myself with Drinking. Overall, the majority of the Gas pain has surpassed and I am up walking around. I have walked the grocery store and will be going on another small walk around the block later today. I find that the walks help keep my sanity.

I feel a little bad though, my husband brought some food, cracker and Starbursts into the bedroom this AM, I asked him to keep them in the other room out of eye range until I could at least eat something pureed.

O-Well, 1 day at a time. I am so happy :)

      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.
