leaving on a jet plane....I'm off for my surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

I'm in a frantic rush at work to get things done before I leave for San Diego tomorrow. Since the universe has a sense of humor my last 48 hours has been a series of quirky things..

1. one entire side of my walk in closet fell to the floor resulting in ALL My clothes and shoes landing in a pile....I've had to sleep on my couch for hte past two nights becuase my bed is literally covered in clothes, bags, accessories (did I mention I am a clothes horse?) Maybe this is God's way to tell me I need to spring clean

2. I started my period 10 days early (stress will do that)

3. I couldn't find my passport and had to tear through the house looking for it....I always keep it in the same place....oye! It's finally found

4. Oh yeah...earthquake in mexicali, rocked my "world"

So I'm taking a deep breath...and getting on a jet plane tomorrow. Please keep this crazy red head in your prayers and good intentions.

Good luck to you Citygal. Hope things go well for you. I go there on April 25 for my surgery. I was wondering how things were down there but if you're going things must be good. Happy sleeving.

:scared0::scared0:Goodness, we must have had the same home builders! My closet did the EXACT same thing about 1 year ago. . . what a mess that was, couldn't even get into the closet good. . . hubbie fixed it to where it'll NEVER come off again! Then he went all around the entire closet reinforcing every shelf. . . good luck with your surgery, you'll do great, just walk alot and sip your Water or ice or whatever they give you over there. . . chat with you soon and keep us updated on your progress!:)

      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.
