MommaMeg01 35 Posted September 18, 2012 October 8th...just got my official date! we will be sleeve buddies yay congrats i start my liquid diet on thefirst and super nervous about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tqmeri30 17 Posted September 18, 2012 I'm really concern because my doctor gave me a pre op diet to follow. I must have 1200 cal with only one meal, the rest with shakes and bars. Today I had two shakes of 110 cal each and three bars with a total of 460 cal. My one meal only came to 200 calories. My concern is that my total cal intake was about 700 calories and 70g of Protein. Does anybody know if this is still ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JazzyJ 34 Posted September 19, 2012 I found out today that I have a torn meniscus and partial tear of my ACL. Going to see my PCP tomorrow for the clearance letter, and I am hopeful the fact that I wrecked my knee (again) will encourage him to be cooperative so I can keep my October 9th date. It has been hard because I can't exercise much. Say a prayer for me that all goes well tomorrow-I NEED this surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banned member 320 Posted September 19, 2012 My surgeon didn't mention a flu shot and I haven't heard anything about the flu shot so far this year. My surgery date is fast approaching and I'm stoked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NDN_RN 527 Posted September 19, 2012 My surgeon didn't mention a flu shot and I haven't heard anything about the flu shot so far this year. My surgery date is fast approaching and I'm stoked! Flu shots are available and a good idea.i think I will get one this week. My daughter' date=' who is tiny for her age was hospitalized when she was 4 for a week. She caught the flu and became so ill and was re-hospitalized. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susan 2.0 278 Posted September 19, 2012 You were right it was ' date=' but it's back on for the 9th [/quote'] Great news!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan 2.0 278 Posted September 19, 2012 Susan 2.0' date=' I will be getting my Flu shot for sure before I go into the hospital im scheduled for 10/29 so I'm getting my flu shot on the 12th of October. Hospitals are the perfect place to catch things, you have the flu for a week before you start to show symptoms so any of those 100's of people patient or staff could sneeze at just the right moment & there you go you've been exposed. I get mine every year, I've had no problems. If you decide to get it just make sure you get it at least 2 weeks before it takes 2 weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective.[/quote'] Thanks for the insight. I'm curious about something someone else said: I don't usually get a flu shot, so should I be concerned about getting sick from it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zenoosh 112 Posted September 19, 2012 Im sure there are people that do get a little sick from getting their flu shot, but its rare, and usually you just feel a little headachy, weak, and sore in the injection site. I gave my friends their first flu shots last year and they had no problems at all. Chances are, you'll be fine without it, but there is a small chance someone will be contagious at wherever it is you'll be having your surgery. If I were in your shoes, I would get it. A couple of my coworkers also got theirs a couple weeks ago and one mentioned she felt a little knot where the injection was...that was it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
