Recommended Posts

I think I have heard that some have and some havn't but from what I read- I think the ones that say they didnt have one- actually did they just took it out before they came to- my last surgery they waited till I was fully awake when they took it out- it is a little uncomfy- but no worse than the other pain you will experience- lol-they pull it out rather quickly so - it could kind of sting the first time you go pee- but Ive had them take it out and I was just fine-

I am crossing my fingers so that I will have your same experience with the catheter.

Is anyone else feeling tension as we near our date?

I will be fine until I go to the holding room. With all the other surgeries I've had, that's when I start to lose it. I hope they will give me something to relax me--especially if I have to wait in there very long. I think I can have two family members in there with me, so that will help.

I'm planning on staying very busy this weekend so it doesn't just drag by.

I thought my oldest daughter wasn't going to be able to be in town for the surgery; her car got trashed (windshield included) during a hailstorm in Knoxville Wednesday night. But fortunately she has found a ride home. YAY!!! Between classes and her job up there, I don't get to see her a whole lot so it was very important for her to be there.

      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.
