Surgery Tomorrow @ 1:30pm PST



Recommended Posts

I have been all over this sight and i'm so happy that I found this forum in particular. I'm thankful to find this sight. I ask for prayer that I go through my surgery without in problems or mishaps and that the Lord be with my surgeon and the assistant surgeon and everyone who is involved with my procedure tomorrow both pre, during and post. I also pray that everyone having surgery that day is protected by the Blood of the Lamb. I know the word tells me that God has not given the spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind.

Any care that I have I will cast upon the Lord for His word says that he cares for me! Amen

Keep me and all having surgery tomorrow in your prayers!

I living in Willoughby, Ohio its 30 miles east of Cleveland. I had my surgery at University Hospital in Cleveland by Doctor Alan Saber.

I took off work 4 weeks but was back to work in 3 weeks. While in the hospital make sure you walk as much as you can. It will help on the recovery end.

The first week is going to be rough, I'm not going to sugar coat it. Your on a liquid diet. your energy will feel low at this point. But once this week is up you'll feel alot better.

I take B-12 500mg once a day, chewable multi Vitamins 2 times a day, chewable caluim 3 times a day... a lot of Water, 8 cups of 8 oz.

The protien shakes got very old for me. and made me sick. Now I can eat chicken and fish. still no red meats makes my stomache hurt. Your not going to be able to eat and drink at the same time. you can drink 15 minutes before or 30 or more minutes after. If you try to rush it. It will give bad pains...

I am now 53 days Post surgery and have lost 65 lbs...I work out 4-5 days a week. I have alot more energy. sleep better,sleep apnea is gone, Blood pressure is normal, asthma is gone.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Dominic

And all God's people said AMEN.

Keep believing because "faith is the assurance of things hoped for; the conviction of things unseen." We know in whom we believe; that He is able to do beyond what we can think or imagine. (and I'm imagining a successful surgery, miraculous recovery and complete restoration to perfect health!)

And, don't forget, the prayers of the righteous availeth much. So, pray without ceasing!

      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.
