Well, I Made It To The Losers Bench!



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved yesterday by Dr Coirin here in Modesto, ca. I'll be here in the hospital until tomorrow. For now, just sipping Water and walking every two hours. Dr. Coirin did an amazing job and the nurses are taking well care of me.

Worst thing was the xray they did to check for leaks, THE NASTIEST STUFF I HAVE EVER HAD TO DRINK. It had me gagging so hard that we had to stop. Dr. saw what he could and said there was no leak.

Anyway, I think is the best decision I have ever made and I'm exited to start my journey into the rest of my healthy life...

<3,

Veronica

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the amazing support. :')

You guys are the best.

I just got back from another walk and the nurse came to give me another heparin shot in my stomach. Pain is not bad; keeping up on my pain medication ;).

Talk to you all a little later....

<3,

Veronica

Congratulations!

Funny, I don't mind the stuff they make you drink. Not that I "LIKE" it but it doesn't make me gag. Hopefully I can still say that on Tuesday! LOL!!

My surgery is in Fresno. :)

      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.
