Finally had my surgery with Dr. Kelly!



Recommended Posts

So I'm two days post surgery and can't believe that it's done! It seems really surreal that I'm finally on the other side of all of the surgery prep. My surgery went well and recovery is going great.

I had my surgery on July 21st with Dr. Kelly in TJ and am now recovering at Hotel Lucerna. My pain is almost gone and I'm starting to learn how to sip broths with my new tiny stomach. It's amazing to me how much better I feel each day. I have to admit that I felt pretty uncomfortable the day of sugery but thankfully, my recovery has been going smoothly.

Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing well and looking forward to watching that scale drop over the next few weeks...it's time I really get this losing process started!!

Thank you everyone for your support!

HI, I'm your fellow July 21st firecraker! Sleeved the same day...I'm doing well also! I did have to go and get a catherter which I'm minutes away from getting rid of....I needed it because sometimes the narcotics they give you after surgery, slows your bladder down and you can't pee!!! but my tummy is great...not a problem at all! Just wanted to say hi and let the loosing begin! Fellow July 21st gal Tracy W (bemabound)

      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.
