Kiwi March 1st sleever reporting in, and as we're first in the international dateline it's the evening of March 3rd here......... I feel like I've been hit by a bus and then it's backed up and reversed over me as well. I bled a bit afterwards (they took my gallbladder and 3 huge stones out too) so am feeling very shaky and weak. The first time they tried to sit me on the edge of the bed I fainted, and the 2nd time as well. My haemoglobin dropped from 142 to 90, so I guess that makes you feel like shite. The first night I had the most awful shoulder tip pain, but they didn't want to give me too much morphine because of my low blood-pressure. Worst night of my life, I reckon sad.gif , Anyway, the surgeon reckons that most recoveries are much easier than mine, and we did know about the possibility of a bleed before surgery (a family thing that we do).

At the moment I'm struggling to get down a teaspoon of Water at a time, so I just have to keep working at it. I was planning on being back at work on Monday - well NO WAY is that going to be happening.

Anyway, that's my moan and groan for the day - hoping for a better day tomorrow

Plumptious

Thank you for checking in! I've been wondering about how you're doing. Be patient, breathe, and ask for help when you need it (saying this for you AND me!). I leave for the hospital in about 2 hours.

This will be worth it, time will pass and you will get better every day.

I'm sending good energy for a speedy recovery your way! You can do this!

Take care!!!!!!!

Talk to you in a couple of days.

Cindy

March 15th! So excited. But my family is finding it hard to put up with the diet only because they want to go out to eat! I've gone out and had the restaurant (place we go a lot) give me only the broth from the vegetable Soup and that worked. I guess there is always a way to find food but it is hard. But it will be worth it and then some when I can have more energy for my family. And for me!

      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.
