Hi all



Recommended Posts

hi all, hope everyone is doing ok, i haven't been on for a few days, since my "op" ha ha, i have been feeling pretty sorry for myself, and not feeling like talking much but yesterday i decided enough was enough, anyway i phoned the hospital to find out if i had a new date for the surgery and my notes had just arrived with the secretary, and she said that they still have to check with the surgeon to see "which" op i am having (after i had been told it was the sleeve then booked for the band) well it looks like it will be in january at the earliest or february at the latest, i am not holding my breath though, we shall just have to see what happens i guess, anyway i am going to and enjoy the next month and try not to think too much about it, then as soon as xmas is over thaen i will begin yet again. take care, VIv

Viv, I have been totally bummed for you but you know what? I can count several things that are pluses from having to wait, such as getting to enjoy the holidays not in recovery mode which can be stressful, giving you more time to do a pre-op and possibly getting into a good eating/exercise routine and losing a few more pounds pre-surgery, you also are lucky that you have the option for the sleeve when so many people don't have the same luxury and lastly all things happen for a reason or from a christian standpoint "All things work together for good to them that love him and are called according to His purpose".

So though I can feel your pain on the mix up and postponement, your future looks bright doll!

HUGS

      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.
