What Did Your Traveling Companions Do?



Recommended Posts

So my wife is traveling with me, I won't say where because we haven't made the final choice on where to go yet. :)

What did your traveling comps do while you were laid up recovering? Do any places have amenitities for the significant other or should I just have her bring her library.

We went to Star Medica in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. My husband and my daughter went with me and then my mom and her boyfriend came to visit for 2 days. Star Medica hospital had what I refer to as a hotel suite lol My husband and daughter had a separate room with leather couches, plasma tvs and refrigerator and phone then there was a glass french doors that opened into my side of the room with my bed, large bathroom, big fluffy futon couch and a recliner with another TV and phone. Really nice, clean and the cleaning crew was there daily changing sheets, cleaning the floors and bathrooms etc. After I got out of surgery my family went to the restaurant next door, went to the mall across the street and ventured out places for me to walk when I would do my rounds =) There was a nice sitting area and cafeteria on the 1st and 2nd floors where the "family members" would meet up while us patients were sleeping or resting. There was 6 other patients getting their surgeries done within a 2 day time frame and we all arrived at the same time so we got to know each other and that helped my family with extra time they had too. Of course, there is always wifi to get on the internet as well!! Only on my 4th day there, the day I went home, did any of us get bored lol So for us, it wasn't an issue with what to do with time!! Good luck!

      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?

      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.
