Recommended Posts

well Thursday i went to see the surgeon and he said i meet all the qualifications, i still have to meet with the psych . that is not until august :Banane56: but right around the corner. so Thursday night I'm laying in bed and all the sudden my heart starts beating kinda funny and my stomach hurts, i feel like i have to throw up and have diarrhea and I'm sweating like crazy so i think I'm having a heart attack. wake my husband up he takes me to ER, they treat me like I'm having a heart attack hook me up to EKG and take blood, Ive never been so scared in my life . well to make a long story short my potassium was way low like almost none, which i guess can cause heart attack symptoms and it is very dangerous none the less but they kept in the hospital i got out this morning didn't have a heart attack but am gonna have to see my family doc on Monday they figured it was my blood pressure meads, so they switched that i hope everything is back to normal now

      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.
