T-minus 3 days and counting



Recommended Posts

Three more days of waiting and the time is passing so agonizingly slow. I have the final appointment with the Dr. and staff today where I assume they are going to read me the riot act about post-op behavior. Bring it on!! I will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to get rid of this insipid disease. Craftychristie is getting sleeved the same day. Continue to keep us in your thoughts until we can join you on the other side.

Three days can seem like forever, but it will pass and you will find yourself sitting on the loser's bench before you know it. I'm scootin over!

Jerry I am really excited for you and Christie (and her hubby). I'm 3 weeks out I can't imagine how nerve wracking it is at 3 days out. Hang in there, you'll do great. You have such a good attitude and desire to do well, which is such a big part of how well you will do. Good luck Jerry.

Thanks for the shout out Jerry!!! I am feeling the opposite of you - that these days are going by FAST! I guess because I have felt like I've had so much to do. Today I bought my Protein Powder from Max Muscle, did some other shopping, had lunch with my sister in law, went to coffee with my dad, got a bunch of stuff from my parents' basement (found some smaller clothes there too which will really come in handy!) oh yeah AND I had to be at the court house this morning for jury duty, which thankfully I got out of. It's been a long day. Tomorrow is my pulmonary testing, my preop tests at the hospital and then my preop appt with the surgeon so I know tomorrow is going to go by fast too! Eeee!

Can't wait to talk to you on the other side!! :eek: :)

      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.
