Today Is The Day!



Recommended Posts

I'm showered and packed and getting ready to leave for the hospital.

Please keep me in your prayers that all goes well for a smooth surgery and recovery.

My nerves are all over the place this morning and I couldn't sleep last night. :)

Thanks gals! I'm home and I'm feeling pretty well. I have 5 incisions, 1 hurts and i can barely tell the other 4 are there. :)

So far I have minimum gas pain, but I do have some.

It's a long road ahead, but as soon as the acute pain goes away I know I'll feel better.

I will say the hardest thing for me today is getting my Water in. I think by the time i finish this bottle I've got going on, I'll have had close to 40 oz.

I'm giving myself a little leeway today, but I know I'll have to figure it out tomorrow.

I also feel like I'll never get in enough Fluid and Protein.< /p>

It's a full time job. I am able to get down one shake a day and chicken broth goes down easily. I haven't started back on all my Vitamins yet have you? Do you swallow any? Can I chew my chewables well at this point?

      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.
