NO PROBLEM!!

My surgeon said the only problem was you could not wear tampons! They will give you these granny panty's to wear that have pads built in and you are good to go!! How cute!! :)

I am sure all hospitals are the same!

Good luck with your surgery!!

Not a problem. Happened to me, it's no biggie as it happens all the time for the medical teams. Just tell your prep nurse, and your surgeon. You'll get these fashionable stretchy, netty type panties to wear, no tampons, take extra pads.

oh yeah, Aunt flo likes to come and freak everyone out before their surgery! Something I've heard alot about is that Surgery makes your Cycle come on... Not exactly the funnest way to go ( Who wants to change dressings in TWO places) But totally ok! Good luck hon!!

First of all good luck with your surgery! Aunt Flo comes when she wants I hate her. Do you know the first question I asked my surgeon was about can I take my birth control pills LOL. What women wont do for not getting a period /

      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.
