Pre Op Diet Heacache!



Recommended Posts

How are you feeling today Barbara and Gloria? Hopefully this will soon pass and you'll feel better. . .

thinoneday,

I'm doing great today. Thanks! The headache was horrible, but this morning when I woke up it was gone. Things are going along smoothly with the diet also. My hubby is following it along with me. He's been so supportive and helpful. He wants to drop some weight also, so he's going to just follow along with healthy eating which makes it much easier for me.

How are things for you? Do you have your date set yet?

Hi Barb, actually i was sleeved on 12/29. . .so being 8 days out. . . i'm still on Clear Liquids until thursday. . i go to the doctor that day to get a check up, weighed and then i have to go to nutrition class to learn how to advance to the next level of nutrition. . and then after that class i go to an exercise class to learn how to exercise i guess. . . but let me tell you, after you start feeling good and have only broth, Water, Jello, and popsicles to "eat" you tend to go a bit nutty. . . my glucose dropped to 69 last night (i'm not diabetic), i was sweaty, and really irratable, so i increased my jello to 2 cups and 2 popsicles. . . had some tea with honey and felt soooooooo much better. . . after a couple took my glucose test again and it went up to 72. . . so that was better. . . can't wait to get off this clear liquid thing and get some other stuff in. . . . 1 more day! aggggghhhhhh. . . .

I am so glad I don't drink coffee I don't think I could handle a caffiene AND carb headache at the same time.

Is anyone else having issues with memory or cognition.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
