Surgery in the Morning!



Recommended Posts

Well...it's here! I will have my surgery tomorrow morning and my sister (2sweet) will have her's right after mine. As I type this it is really hitting home. We are going to be new healthy people starting tomorrow morning....WOW !!

Me and my sis have done so many things together in our lifetime. We have started businesses - been through weddings, divorce, births and deaths. We have each other's back - all the time - if one gets cut we both bleed. If one gets hit by a car...roll her over cause the other one is underneath. If one wins the Lottery....well she better give me some money or I will stalk her for life! Our relationship with food has been almost identical as well and so was our problem with weight. By far out of all the things that we have done together...all the projects that we have started and completed together.....this is by far the best and the most important project we will ever do together. We take care of so many people in our lives but this time we are taking care of ourselves. And Ladies and Gents - this is only the beginning. I can't say that I am scared or nervous exactly.....maybe a little but I am so stoked...so excited....so happy......so high (not on drugs) that I could spit glitter and balloons!

Pray for us as we have truly been praying for everyone here and thanks so much for all the good stuff that is coming out of this forum.

See ya on the Slim Side!!!!!!!

Now ya'll knew I had to chime in after I read my Bestie's [LadyVelvet] post!!! Ditto and double ditto to everything that she said!!! She called me on the phone to tell me that she had started another post so I had to hang up with her and read it myself because I didn't want her to hear me cry!

I'm sitting here at my desk at work sipping on my pre-op Clear liquids and thinking that this time tomorrow I'll be in OR meeting Itty Bitty Belly for the first time!! WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Seems like we just started this journey a few weeks ago and the big day is already here!! I'm too tickled at the thought of not taking any more meds and leading a healthier life for me and my family!!!:)

Bless you to all the Sleevers that have gone on before us. Thanks for all the invaluable advice that I have received/read since joining this forum!!

I know my Itty Bitty Belly is just like a gym membership . . . it won't work if you don't use it!! Trust me I plan on using it and making sure it stays Itty Bitty!!!:D

Smooches and much love to everyone!!! See you all on the looser's bench!!! ;)

How blessed you are to have your sister with you on this journey! My own sisters have been great about calling etc. but you will each know fully what it is like. It will be so interesting to see if you come through this differently!

I will pray for you both tomorrow and don;t forget to let us know how you do! I am starting a post op Red Velvet Gang thread for all the May sleevers and make sure we see you there as soon as humanly possible ;-P How long do you two expect to be in the hospital? Do they have internet? LOL! Mine did but I was not in posting mood for a while...

      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.
