We are able to access funds we had forgotten we had!!! AND a generous family member is helping as well! I just thank God it looks like its a real possiblity! Thanks for praying for me. Hopefully I'll be a June Jewel :) As of right now my monthly medicine is costing over $300 a month...paying this surgery off is half that..and I'll be on my way to being healthy!!

doing MUCH better today (post op day 4). Was able to come home from the hospital yesterday (was in 2 days instead of 1) and finally slept almost completely through the night last night. I'm doing well today, every hour i'm doing the following:

1. Using the incentive spirometer

2. sipping as much liquid as possible (did 2 Protein shakes with Vitamins that each took about 3 hours to finish and were 8 oz east) TRYING for 60oz per day.

3. walking 5 minutes

4. doing my seated ankle exercises

Hopefully, i can hit 60oz of Fluid today and tomorrow and start puree by Wednesday (fingers crossed). I'm still learning the limits of how much i can drink/sip at once without getting pressure and only had 1 minor episode with the "stuck" feeling today.

Overall i'm happy with my progress and just wanting to get back on track with the stages of the diet that were slightly delayed due to my complications (with taking liquids) in the hospital.

I'll definitely keep you updated! Thanks everyone for your support!

JG

      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.
