Just out of surgery....



Recommended Posts

Well.....I did it!

Surgery was Wednesday morning. Everything has went well so far! I have been walking the halls today....just had a shower, and am now enjoying a little broth and jell-0! It was soooo amazing how good ice chips can taste when you get to pre-op...I thought I was in heaven! I have been treated with so much respect and dignity, way to go Munson Health Care Team! Hopefully I will be able to go home tomorow (Friday):thumbup:

Thanks everyone! Not to pat my own back, but I NEVER thought I would go through with it!! Sure am glad I did. I know know that this was the right decision and I'm going to be so much healthier and happier than I could ever have imagined! Had a little bit of a rough night last night....felt so good all day that I kinda got off my pain med schedule. Whoops! That won't happen again. Looking forward to going home today :-)

      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.
