24 Hours And Counting.....



Recommended Posts

So by the time I post this I will be 24 hours away from the third biggest day in my life (first two bring the days my girls were born)...funny how my happy days are all in hospitals...hmmmm ? ?

Well I thought I would be a nervous wreck, not able to sleep and freaking out but I'm surprised...BC I'm fine :) I've been insanely busy packing, moving some stuff to the new house and running around but overall just crossing through the day. Woo hoo. I've been having issues sleeping but that is more because I haven't been able to use the medicine for my fibromyalgia so it hurts to lie down for so long.

I've been on a liquids diet since yesterday and I have to say it isn't half bad. I like not having to be worrying about food all the time. My loving hubby takes care of dinner for himself and Meg's so I don't have to go near it....ok I cheated and chewed on a sausage slice yesterday but "I DID NOT SWALLOW" LOL.

so today is more packing, moving stuff, Walmart and CVs run, Clear Liquids and then passing out (thank goodness for the move) oh and pack some in between.

Hope you all have a great day and see you right before surgery...

Xoxo Lisa

      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.
