Recommended Posts

everything is still going peachy. very little pain due to good control from meds.:P Still having a bit of trouble with low heartrate and goofy blood pressure but other than that it has been very smooth. Waiting for my turn for the swallow test. They have a few vascular patients that must go first. That's fine...I am enjoying my stay. Nice room..small but efficient. nice furniture and wall colors. Staff is amazing...so is doctor.:D Gone for several walks. Will have drain removed upon discharge!! All in all it has been a great experience! How is everyone else doing this morning?

thanks everyone! could not have done it without y'all :lol: We got home 2 1/2 hours ago. Took liquid lortab after getting home and then slept a couple of hours. Now I am resting and eating sf popsicles. In a few minutes I will get up and walk for a little bit...cough, and do the breathing thingy. A bit more pain now that i am home and no pain pump. But it really is just soreness not bad pain.. about a 3 from a scale of 1-10. Left shoulder has been off and on pain wise. Tummy sore of course but really it is not bad at all. Shoulder surgery was far more painful :huh:

      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.
