Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my day and I'm so excited but I'm so emotional. I can't stop tearing up.

I have an amazing support group who is behind me 100% and this week has been really really hard not being able to eat, but hey I have already lost 11 lbs!!!!!!!

I am looking ahead at things to come and living a happy active lifestyle with my kids. I'm to be at the hospital at 6:45 and my first surgery starts at 8 (tubal ligation) and my sleeve is scheduled for 8:15!!!!

Wish me luck!!! - Tiffany :rolleyes:

My surgery is 8 DAYS away!! Having this surgery means so many mixed feeling. Focus on your END result. VISUALIZE yourself doing things that maybe you can't or are difficult for you before. Use positive words. You will get through this, you will be fine and everything is going to be GREAT!!!! :rolleyes:

I'm sleeved!!!!! yay! Everything went beautifully, when i woke up in recovery I did do a bit of dry heaving .... which wasn't the greatest thing to experience but boy the pain meds are fantastic!!! The doc kept telling me that my liver was tiny and he was so happy that I followed my liquid diet to a T.

So all day today I have been waiting around with my hubby to see if I get to go home and what happens, about 30 minutes after my hubby left, the doc shows up and says that I could go if I wanted to. There is no leak and all my spots on my belly are doing well. The pain that I am experiencing is the cut on my belly button, right shoulder pain and there is pain that happens between my shoulder blades. The pain meds work really good and it's funny I can time when the pain between my shoulder blades come back, 6 hours to be exact. Weird huh. So I am staying here one more night then I am out of here around 10 in the morning.

I am soooo proud of myself, I am officially on the losers bench and I did this for me and I can't be more thrilled. 2011 is going to be one amazing year!!! Nothing is going to hold me back!

      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.
