Treated Different......



Recommended Posts

I am blessed to have a fabulous circle of girlfriends. They are my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. I am the only fat person in the group (actually, everyone I socialize with is thinner than me). We're all in our early-mid fifties, so the whole jealousy thing is a non-issue.

As for the flirtatious looks/comments: who DOESN'T appreciate an admiring glance?!!

Dr. Sadek did my surgery in a Freehold and D. Dobrushkin assisted him. I only know this because I got a copy of my operative report and it was in there. He never mentioned a 2nd surgeon. He also never told me I had a repair if a hiatal hernia. I thought that was strange but I really have no complaints.

      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.
