Jack mario's surgery 5/5/10



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

This is Shauni, Jack Mario's older Daughter. He has told me quite a lot about all of you online and I'd like to thank you all for your support :o

He requested I come online and give you all an update on how hes doing.

So his surgery was on May 4th and it went quite well :thumbup:, (it was even recorded for med. student use heeeehee:tongue2:) [[we're trying to get our hands on the tape so we can watch it :lol0:]] I wasnt allowed to see him the day following the surgery but from what my Mom told me he was in major pain, and hooked up to a lot of "tubing". I did see him today though :) and hes doing FANTASTIC. His nurses are having him walk every now and then and his says the pain has gotten better. The only thing is that he can't stop hiccuping!!! lol The nurses say its because of the hernia in his esophagus that he got fixed and the hiccups won't go away til its healed. Tomorrow he gets transfered from ICU into the regular hospital section and hopefully they'll release him :thumbup:

Attached is a picture for all of you to see <3 lol

(as you can see he looks a little cranky :laugh0: he hasn't slept much :mellow:)

Thank You All Very Much, all your encouraging words and advice

has given him the hope and support he needed :001_tt1:

He will most likey type back to you all the minute he gets home :)

:thumbup:

      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.
