Im going back in!!!! NOOOOO



Recommended Posts

Well I went for my 2 weeks post op with the dietician, and she wasnt too happy that im still gurling and taking so long to get it down, so I popped next door to the surgeon and he is 99% sure he needs to do a small dilatation to stretch out a narrowing that may have occurred. it may have been due to the wretching for nearly 72hours or the fact that it's just tight. its done by gastroscopy but I dont really care. I dont want to go back in. sure its hard but I thought I was done with surgeries now!!!

Ive moved onto puree food in hopes that will settle it down a bit.! so he is giving me two weeks... and if there is no change then im going back in.

Weight loss update since surgery I have lost 14.3kgs in 2 weeks, which is 31lbs.. which of course Im stoked about but they say its the upper 5% of weightloss and considering im hardly getting anything in it may not be a good thing... its very hard for my brain right now considering Ive taken two years off my life in 2 weeks and im stoked.

hmmmm..... has anyone else had a dilatation before???

      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.
