Today Is The Day!



Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here waiting for one of my friends. She's taking me to the hospital for surgery. My surgery was rescheduled from Thursday to today. I'm not really nervous. I'm just ready to get this part over with so that I can begin adjusting to the many changes. I will talk to you guys on Wednesday. Pray for me and I will pray for you.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes! I made it. Woohoo... I'm at home now and just sleepy and tired. I haven't been doing a good job sipping because it hurts going down. I got up and took a shower. The thought of much else is draining right now. I have a ball attached to me that slowly releases pain meds for a couple days. I think for women who've had children this will be a piece of cake (yuck), but if you're like me and hadn't had a lot of medical issues, it might be a bit overwhelming.

When I woke up from surgery, the thought of food was absolutely revolting to me. So much so, it was making me nauseous. And my friend was sitting in my room eating pizza when I woke up (double yuck)! She's a skinny cow! I was going to work Mon, but I think I might pass on that. We'll see... Thanks again everybody! Everybody will do great!

      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.
