Recommended Posts

darn. i hate my new mouse. just wrote up this big long thing about what to do and not to do and feeling guilty for now following my pre-op diet religiously and blah blah blah... Well, I hit the darn side button on my mouse I lost that whole rant... Well, needless to say, the last thing I left with was that should just stop typing because I was freaking myself out.... LOL...

Later! Keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers! surgery is on Saturday and I am on my way to Dominican Republic as we speak...

I am soooooooooooooooo very excited for you, and I hope you are able to text or email me an update. I'll be at our squadron Christmas party on Saturday night, but I'll have my phone with me.

Please be safe in your travels, and enjoy your trip.

Ok all, I am giong POST op!!!!

Hi all,

I am through with the surgery and in the hotel. Sweet hotel and excellent room! I will take pics.

I am doing excellent. The hospital staff said I was their best patient all year long (LOL); The doctor said that everything went off without a hitch AND they are even going to give me a DVD of my surgery... Ugh and cool at the same time.

I have a checkup on Wednesday to get the drain out and to double check the stiches. Overall, I think it was a relatively easy recovery for me, so far.

I don't have international cell phone access just yet, but am working with my cousin to get a cell phone with international calls available. For now, if anyone wants to get in touch with me, I am at:

The Domnican Fiesta Hotel $ Casino

Tel: 809-562-8222 (just dial 1-#)

Hotel Room: #438

Otherwise, I will keep up with email.

Later everyone!

I plan on watching the DVD much later. I want to be feeling good, have all drains and stitches out and the like before I venture into seeing myself being mutilated! :)

      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.
