Recommended Posts

Same location you mentioned...it is warm to the touch with red streaks ... sine i look at the scares constantly it is hard for me to tell if it is getting worse... so I just had my brother who is taking care of me to take a look at it again and he feels it does look worse so I will call the doctors office.. thank so much!

I am also having difficulty sleeping at night. I see the surgeon tomorrow and will have a conversation with him. I have taken Ambien in the past and may have to resort to taking one as I can't stand not getting good sleep. I am not taking any Protein as yet and hoping to advance to stage 2 diet tomorrow -- yippee!!

Glad you are going to the doc. Warm to touch with red streaks could be a sign of infection. It is listed on my discharge instructions. Hopefully if it is they can nip that in a bud with some antibiotics .

      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.
